約伯記 9:25
"My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.
我的日子比跑信的更快，急速過去，不見福樂。
撒母耳記下 14:14
Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.
我們都是必死的，如同水潑在地上，不能收回。神並不奪取人的性命，乃設法使逃亡的人不至成為趕出、回不來的。
詩篇 146:4
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
他的氣一斷，就歸回塵土；他所打算的，當日就消滅了。

Like a shepherd's tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me.

Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
一代過去，一代又來，地卻永遠長存。
傳道書 6:12
For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
人一生虛度的日子，就如影兒經過，誰知道什麼與他有益呢？誰能告訴他身後在日光之下有什麼事呢？
約伯記 4:19
- 21
how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!
Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever.
Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?'
何況那住在土房、根基在塵土裡、被蠹蟲所毀壞的人呢？
早晚之間，就被毀滅，永歸無有，無人理會。
他帳棚的繩索豈不從中抽出來呢？他死，且是無智慧而死。
約伯記 10:20

In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
你叫他們如水沖去；他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草，
早晨發芽生長，晚上割下枯乾。
以賽亞書 40:24
No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
他們是剛才（或作：不曾；下同）栽上，剛才種上，根也剛才扎在地裡，他一吹在其上，便都枯乾；旋風將他們吹去，像碎稓一樣。
以賽亞書 51:8
For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all generations."

詩篇 90:9
- 10
All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
我們經過的日子都在你震怒之下；我們度盡的年歲好像一聲歎息。
我們一生的年日是七十歲，若是強壯可到八十歲；但其中所矜誇的不過是勞苦愁煩，轉眼成空，我們便如飛而去。
詩篇 103:14
- 16
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
因為他知道我們的本體，思念我們不過是塵土。
至於世人，他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花，
經風一吹，便歸無有；他的原處也不再認識他。

有人聲說：你喊叫吧！有一個說：我喊叫什麼呢？說：凡有血氣的盡都如草；他的美容都像野地的花。
草必枯乾，花必凋殘，因為耶和華的氣吹在其上；百姓誠然是草。
雅各書 4:14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
其實明天如何，你們還不知道。你們的生命是什麼呢？你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。
約伯記 7:6
- 10
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.
Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.
The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.
As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return.
He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.
我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在無指望之中。
求你想念，我的生命不過是一口氣；我的眼睛必不再見福樂。
觀看我的人，他的眼必不再見我；你的眼目要看我，我卻不在了。
雲彩消散而過；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。
他不再回自己的家；故土也不再認識他。

- 6
"Show me, Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.
"Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.
耶和華啊，求你叫我曉得我身之終！我的壽數幾何？叫我知道我的生命不長！
你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各人最穩妥的時候，真是全然虛幻。（細拉）
世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。

- 48
Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!
Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?

誰能常活免死、救他的靈魂脫離陰間的權柄呢？（細拉）

雅各書 1:10
- 11
But the rich should take pride in their humiliation-since they will pass away like a wild flower.
For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
富足的降卑，也該如此；因為他必要過去，如同草上的花一樣。
太陽出來，熱風颳起，草就枯乾，花也凋謝，美容就消沒了；那富足的人，在他所行的事上也要這樣衰殘。
歷代志上 29:15
We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
我們都像不潔淨的人；所有的義都像污穢的衣服。我們都像葉子漸漸枯乾；我們的罪孽好像風把我們吹去。
