My days

My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle;
they come to an end without hope.

My days fly by faster than a runner;

they flee without seeing any good.

I said: In the prime of my life

I must go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the rest of my years.

Purposes

A man’s heart plans his way,
but the Lord determines his steps.

Many plans are in a man’s heart,
but the Lord’s decree will prevail.

Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your strength, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

Devise a plan; it will fail.
Make a prediction; it will not happen.
For God is with us.

מ MemWho is there who speaks and it happens,
unless the Lord has ordained it?

Now I want you to know,

brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

I planned with this confidence to come to you first, so you could have a double benefit,

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”

General references

So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.

I said: In the prime of my life

I must go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the rest of my years.
