As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.

For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.

The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.

That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.

They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.
