Thematic Bible
Life » Uncertainty of physical » Only a handbreadth in extent
Lo! as hand-breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life-time, is as nothing before thee, - Surely, a mere breath, are all men, even such as stand firm. Selah.
Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
For, all our days, decline in thy wrath, - We end our years like a sigh.
My days, are like a shadow extended, And, I, as green herbage, do wither.
For who knoweth what is good for a man throughout his life, for the number of the days of his life of vanity, seeing he will make them, like a shadow, - for who can tell a man, what shall be after him, under the sun?
