7  ^e“Remember that my life is a breath;

my eye will never again see good.

5  ^rBehold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,

and my lifetime is as nothing ^sbefore you.

Surely all mankind stands as a mere ^tbreath! Selah

11  When you discipline a man

with rebukes for sin,

you consume like a moth what is dear to him;

surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

39  He ^wremembered that they were but ^xflesh,

a ^ywind that passes and comes not again.

3  For my days pass away like ^bsmoke,

and my ^cbones burn like a furnace.

4  Man is like a ^sbreath;

his days are like a passing ^tshadow.

3  Therefore they shall be ^wlike the morning mist

or like the dew that goes early away,

like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor

or like smoke from a window.
