- a wind:
- Or, as the Hebrew rooach holaich welo yashoov may be rendered, "the spirit goeth away and returneth not again." To this purpose the Arabic, "He remembered that they were flesh; and a spirit which when it departs, returneth not again." The human being is composed of flesh and spirit, or body and soul: these are easily separated, and when separated, the body turns to dust, and the spirit returns no more to animate the body in a state of probation. "O rememberª° that¹ my lifeª [is] wind:ª mine eyeª shall no¹ moreª° seeª° good.ª" {Job 7:7} + "I loatheª° [it]; I would not¹ liveª° alway:ª let me alone;ª°¹ for¹ my daysª [are] vanity.ª" {Job 7:16} + "Whereasª ye knowª° notª whatª [shall be] on the¹ morrow.ª Forª whatª [is] yourª life?ª It isª° evenª a vapour,ª that² appeareth¹ for²°¹ a little time,ª andª thenª vanisheth away.ª°" {Jms 4:14}
