He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
“Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?
