The Frailty and Vanity of Man
3
My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then spake I with my tongue:
4
Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.
5
Behold, thou hast made my daysas handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. [Selah
6
Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
