- "Manª [that is] bornª° of a womanª [is] of fewª days,ª and fullª of trouble.ª ... He cometh forthª° like a flower,ª and is cut down:ª° he fleethª° also as a shadow,ª and continuethª° not.¹" {Job 14:1-2} + "LORD,ª make me to knowª° mine end,ª and the measureª of my days,ª what¹ it¹ [is; that] I may knowª° how¹ frailª I¹ [am]. ... And now,¹ Lord,ª what¹ waitª° I for? my hopeª [is] in thee." {Psa 39:4-7} + "Thou carriest them away as with a flood;ª° they are¹ [as] a sleep:ª in the morningª [they are] like grassª [which] groweth up.ª° ... 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°" {Psa 90:5-10} + "[As for] man,ª his daysª [are] as grass:ª as a flowerª of the field,ª so¹ he flourisheth.ª° ... For¹ the windª passeth¹ over²° it, and it is gone;¹ and the placeª thereof shall knowª° it no¹ more.¹" {Psa 103:15-16} + "For¹ who¹ knowethª° what¹ [is] goodª for manª in [this] life,ª allª the daysª of his vainª lifeª which he spendethª° as a shadow?ª for¹ who¹ can tellª° a manª what¹ shall be¹ afterª him under¹ the sun?ª" {Ecc 6:12} + "Whatsoever¹¹ thy handª findethª° to do,ª° doª° [it] with thy might;ª for¹ [there is] no¹ work,ª nor device,ª nor knowledge,ª nor wisdom,ª in the grave,ª whither¹¹ thou¹ goest.ª°" {Ecc 9:10} + "Andª that,ª knowingª° the¹ time,ª thatª nowª [it is] high timeª to¹ awakeª²° out ofª sleep:ª forª nowª [is] ourª salvationª nearerª thanª whenª we believed.ª° ... The¹ nightª is far spent,ªª° the¹ dayª is at hand:ª° let us²° thereforeª cast offª° the¹ worksª of darkness,ª andª let us put onª° the¹ armourª of light.ª" {Rom 13:11-12} + "Let us go forthª° thereforeª untoª himª withoutª the¹ camp,ª bearingª° hisª reproach.ª ... Forª hereª have¹ we²° noª continuingª° city,ª butª we seek¹ one²° to come.ª°" {Hbr 13:13-14} + "Butª the¹ endª of all thingsª is at hand:ª° be ye²° therefore² sober,ª°¹ andª watchª° untoª prayer.ª" {1Pe 4:7} + "But,ª beloved,ª be²° not²² ignorantª°¹ of this¹ one² thing,²¹ thatª oneª dayª [is] withª the Lordª asª a thousandª years,ª andª a thousandª yearsª asª oneª day.ª ... The¹ Lordª is²° not² slackª°¹ concerning his promise,ª asª some menª countª° slackness;ª butª is longsufferingª° toª us-ward,ª notª willingª° that anyª should perish,ª° butª that allª should comeª° toª repentance.ª" {2Pe 3:8-9} + "Andª the¹ worldª passeth away,ª° andª the¹ lustª thereof:²¹ butª he that doethª° the¹ willª of Godª abidethª° for² ever.ª¹" {1Jn 2:17}
