若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。

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、

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.

經云、世人惟草、其榮如花、草枯花謝、

有聲告我曰、爾當號呼、我曰、呼當若何、曰、庶民惟草、其榮如花、庶民惟草、草枯花凋、耶和華以風風之、則然、草枯花凋、惟我上帝之言不朽。

昔我列祖為賓旅於爾前、我儕亦然、我生命如影、難冀其長存。

人之生也、譬彼草萊、欣欣以向榮兮、疾風一吹、立見凋枯、無從覓跡兮、

獨是明日之事、爾且弗能知、爾命伊何、猶雲霧聚散倏忽、出沒頃刻、

斯世之人、如氣呼吸、人之生命、如影沉西兮、

余之生命、如影沉西、如草凋零兮、

惡人不畏上帝、斷難邀福、厥日無幾、如影靡定。

義者發萌、譬彼棗樹、譬彼利巴嫩之柏香木兮、

日月逝矣、速於郵傳、流光已邁、我未見福之至也。日去如扁舟、勢若巨鷹之摶擊。

惡者亨通、知草萌芽、轉瞬凋零、至於永亡兮、

富者、以居卑為樂、譬之草花、不免凋枯、日出曝之、草枯花謝、其美亡矣、富者必衰亦如是、

人之沒世、譬諸夢寐、譬諸草之萌櫱兮、清晨向榮、芽發蕊舒、至夕翦刈、遂槁枯兮、爾震怒、則余毀傷兮、爾發憤、則予驚惶兮、余有罪愆、爾癉之兮、余有隱慝、爾相之兮、爾怒奮揚、余壽俱亡、歲月易過、恍若中心之轉念兮、
