'Brief' in the Bible

But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from Yahweh our God to preserve a remnant for us and give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our slavery, God has given us new life and light to our eyes.

the joy of the wicked has been briefand the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?

“I deserted you for a brief moment,but I will take you back with great compassion.
