Ecclesiastes 8:13

But it will not be well for the evil man, nor will he lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.

Job 14:2

“Like a flower he comes forth and withers;
He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

For who [limited by human wisdom] knows what is good for man during his lifetime, during the few days of his futile life? He spends them like a shadow [staying busy, but achieving nothing of lasting value]. For who can tell a man what will happen after him [to his work, his treasure, his plans] under the sun [after his life is over]?

Woe (judgment is coming) to the wicked! It shall go badly with him,
For what his hand has done shall be done to him.

And are spent without hope.

“Indeed, the light of the wicked will be put out,
And the flame of his fire will not shine.

That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless is only for a moment?

“That evil men are [now] reserved for the day of disaster and destruction,
They will be led away on the day of [God’s] wrath?

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.

Psalm 39:5

“Behold, You have made my days as [short as] hand widths,
And my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight.
Surely every man at his best is a mere breath [a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes]! Selah.

Psalm 55:23

But You, O God, will bring down the wicked to the pit of destruction;
Men of blood and treachery will not live out half their days.
But I will [boldly and unwaveringly] trust in You.

Psalm 144:4

Man is like a mere breath;
His days are like a shadow that passes away.

Isaiah 30:13

Therefore this wickedness [this sin, this injustice, this wrongdoing] will be to you
Like a crack [in a wall] about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].

Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a little while and then vanishes [into thin air].

2 Peter 2:3

And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine. Their sentence [of condemnation which God has decreed] from a time long ago is not idle [but is still in force], and their destruction and deepening misery is not asleep [but is on its way].
