- Behold:
- "For¹ a thousandª yearsª in thy sightª [are but] as² yesterdayª¹ when¹ it is past,ª° and [as] a watchª in the night.ª ... 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°" {Psa 90:4-5} + "For¹ all¹ our daysª are passed awayª° in thy wrath:ª we spendª° our yearsª as¹ a taleª [that is told]. ... 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 90:9-10} + "And Jacobª saidª° unto¹ Pharaoh,ª The daysª of the yearsª of my pilgrimageª [are] an hundredª and thirtyª years:ª fewª and evilª have the daysª of the yearsª of my lifeª been,¹ and have not¹ attained²° unto¹¹ the daysª of the yearsª of the lifeª of my fathersª in the daysª of their pilgrimage.ª" {Gen 47:9} + "My daysª are swifterª° than¹ a weaver's shuttle,ª and are spentª° withoutª hope.ª" {Job 7:6} + "Now my daysª are swifterª° than¹ a post:ª° they flee away,ª° they seeª° no¹ good.ª ... They are passed awayª° asª the swiftª ships:ª as the eagleª [that] hastethª° to¹ the prey.ª" {Job 9:25-26} + "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} + "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}
