“Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out,
And the flame of his fire gives no light.

That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless momentary?

“For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity;
They will be led forth at the day of fury.

The Lord

tests the righteous and the wicked,

And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,

and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.

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

“Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Surely every man at his best is a mere breath.

Selah.

Man is like a mere breath;

His days are like a passing shadow.

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
