世人如氣息、其日如影迅逝兮、

斯世之人、如氣呼吸、人之生命、如影沉西兮、

世人有如虛幻、其年壽如影易逝、

人生如夢影。歲月同浮雲。浮雲瞬息逝。蹤跡不可尋。

They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath. Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

For they are like a breath of air; their days are like a passing shadow.

A human is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears.

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass.

since we were born only yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are but a shadow.

I fade away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

You, indeed, have made my days short in length, and my life span as nothing in Your sight. Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor. Selah“ Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Absolute futility. Everything is futile.”

However, it will not go well with the wicked, and they will not lengthen their days like a shadow, for they are not reverent before God.

Man born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last.Do You really take notice of one like this? Will You bring me into judgment against You?

You discipline a man with punishment for sin, consuming like a moth what is precious to him; every man is only a vapor. Selah

how much more those who dwell in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth!

Remember how short my life is. Have You created everyone for nothing?

As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

We will certainly die and be like water poured out on the ground, which can’t be recovered. But God would not take away a life; He would devise plans so that the one banished from Him does not remain banished.

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Everything is futile.”

Men are only a vapor; exalted men, an illusion. Weighed in the scales, they go up; together they are less than a vapor.

For we live before You as foreigners and temporary residents in Your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
