Thematic Bible: Frailty of
Thematic Bible
Body » Frailty of
But man, with all his [self] honor and pomp, will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.
But David vowed again, saying “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be worried.’ But truly as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death.”
Verse Concepts
My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me;
And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.
For He [graciously] remembered that they were mere [human] flesh,
A wind that goes and does not return.
For He knows our [mortal] frame;
He remembers that we are [merely] dust.
As when the one plows and breaks open the ground [and the soil scatters behind him],
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol [by the injustices of the wicked].
Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?
A voice says, “Call out [prophesy].”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”
[The voice answered:] All humanity is [as frail as] grass, and all that makes it attractive [its charm, its loveliness] is [momentary] like the flower of the field.
For we all have become like one who is [ceremonially] unclean [like a leper],
And all our deeds of righteousness are like filthy rags;
We all wither and decay like a leaf,
And our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing], like the wind, takes us away [carrying us far from God’s favor, toward destruction].
For,“All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers
And the flower falls off,
