He grows up like a flower and then withers away; he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.

出来如花，又被割下，飞去如影，不能存留。

他出来如花，凋谢而去；他飞逝如影，不能存留。

他出来如花，凋谢而去；他飞逝如影，不能存留。

他如花盛开，转眼凋谢；如影消逝，无法久留。

他生长如花，又遭割下；他飞去如影，并不停留。

出來如花，又被割下，飛去如影，不能存留。

他出來如花，凋謝而去；他飛逝如影，不能存留。

他出來如花，凋謝而去；他飛逝如影，不能存留。

他如花盛開，轉眼凋謝；如影消逝，無法久留。

他生長如花，又遭割下；他飛去如影，並不停留。

他長出如花草，又被割下；他飛去如影兒，並不停留。

其出如花、而遭翦伐、如影之馳、不得停留、

若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。

如花之發生、頃刻枯槁、如影之奔馳、不能停留、

They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.

They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.

He comes out like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not.

We blossom like a flower and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.

He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last.

Like a flower he comes out and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.

For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

For all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off,

A voice says,“ Cry out!” Another asks,“ What should I cry out?” The first voice responds:“ All people are like grass, and all their promises are like the flowers in the field.The grass dries up, the flowers wither, when the wind sent by the LORD blows on them. Surely humanity is like grass.The grass dries up, the flowers wither, but the decree of our God is forever reliable.”

For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security.

A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.

You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes.

People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears.

My days are coming to an end, and I am withered like grass.

But it will not go well with the wicked, nor will they prolong their days like a shadow, because they do not stand in fear before God.

The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.

“ My days are swifter than a runner, they speed by without seeing happiness.They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.

But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.

You bring their lives to an end and they“ fall asleep.” In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;in the morning it glistens and sprouts up; at evening time it withers and dries up.Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.You are aware of our sins; you even know about our hidden sins.Yes, throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh.
