You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer.

人的日子既然限定，他的月数在你那里，你也派定他的界限，使他不能越过，

既然人的日子限定，他的月数在于你，你划定他的界限，他不能越过；

既然人的日子限定，他的月数在于你，你划定他的界限，他不能越过；

人的年日已被限定，你掌管他的岁月，设定他无法逾越的界限。

人的日子既然被限定，他的月数亦在乎你，你也定下他的界限，使他不能越过。

既然人的日子限定，他的月數在於你，你劃定他的界限，他不能越過；

人的年日已被限定，你掌管他的歲月，設定他無法逾越的界限。

人在世的日子既被限定：他年月的數目既在你那裏：他的界限你也制定着，使他不能越過，

人之年日既定、月數在爾、爾為之立限制、不能踰越、

人之生也、其數有定、其限難越、爾使之然、

人之年日無多、其月之數、為主所定、主為之定限、不能踰越、

A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.

You decide how long anyone will live. You have established the number of his months. You have set a limit to the number of his days.

Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,

Since a person’s days are determined and the number of his months depends on you, and since you have set limits he cannot pass,

Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And You have set his limits so that he cannot pass.

Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.

Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

Since man’s days are determined and the number of his months depends on You, and since You have set limits he cannot pass,

Seeing his days[ are] determined, the number of his months[ are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

“ Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.

From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

For they will not care what happens to their family after they are dead.

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment,

But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind? Whatever he wants to do, he does.So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny.

For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.

But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.

This is what these words mean: Mene means‘ numbered’— God has numbered the days of your reign and has brought it to an end.

Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

That very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed.

“ Is not all human life a struggle? Our lives are like that of a hired hand,

“ Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David. What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open:

Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death.

All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’

“ A period of seventy sets of seven has been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish their rebellion, to put an end to their sin, to atone for their guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to confirm the prophetic vision, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

“ The king will do as he pleases, exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every god, even blaspheming the God of gods. He will succeed, but only until the time of wrath is completed. For what has been determined will surely take place.

I am the living one. I died, but look— I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
