- the days of his vain life:
- Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity, "But it shall not¹ be¹ wellª with the wicked,ª neither¹ shall he prolongª° [his] days,ª [which are] as a shadow;ª because¹ he feareth²¹ not¹ beforeª¹ God.ª" {Ecc 8:13} + "Also¹ their love,ª and¹ their hatred,ª and¹ their envy,ª is nowª perished;ª° neither¹ have they any more¹ a portionª for everª in any¹ [thing] that¹ is doneª° under¹ the sun.ª" {Ecc 9:6} + "For¹ we¹ [are] strangersª beforeª thee, and sojourners,ª as [were] all¹ our fathers:ª our daysª on¹ the earthª [are] as a shadow,ª and [there is] none¹ abiding.ª" {1Ch 29:15} + "(For¹ we¹ [are but of] yesterday,ª and knowª° nothing,¹ because¹ our daysª upon¹ earthª [are] a shadow:)ª" {Job 8:9} + "He cometh forthª° like a flower,ª and is cut down:ª° he fleethª° also as a shadow,ª and continuethª° not.¹" {Job 14:2} + "Behold,¹ thou hast madeª° my daysª [as] an handbreadth;ª and mine ageª [is] as nothing¹ before¹ thee: verily¹ everyª manª at his best stateª° [is] altogetherª vanity.ª Selah.ª ... Surely¹ every manª walkethª° in a vain shew:ª surely¹ they are disquietedª° in vain:ª he heapeth upª° [riches], and knowethª° not¹ who¹ shall gatherª° them." {Psa 39:5-6} + "Rememberª° how¹ shortª my¹ time is: wherefore¹¹ hast thou madeª° all¹ menªª in vain?ª" {Psa 89:47} + "The daysª of our yearsª [are] threescore²° years² and ten;ª¹ and if¹ by reason of strengthª [they be] fourscoreª years,ª yet [is] their strengthª labourª and sorrow;ª for¹ it is soonª cut off,ª° and we fly away.ª° ... So¹ teachª° [us] to numberª° our days,ª that we may applyª° [our] heartsª unto wisdom.ª" {Psa 90:10-12} + "My daysª [are] like a shadowª that declineth;ª° and I¹ am witheredª° like grass.ª" {Psa 102:11} + "I am goneª° like the shadowª when it declineth:ª° I am tossed up and downª° as the locust.ª" {Psa 109:23} + "Manª is likeª° to vanity:ª his daysª [are] as a shadowª that passeth away.ª°" {Psa 144:4} + "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}
