Job 9:25

“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

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

The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king’s command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.

“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.

“With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You consume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah.

Remember what my span of life is;
For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.

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.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

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

The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king’s command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.

“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.

Remember what my span of life is;

For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.

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.
