how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!

So he’ll certainly find fault with human beings. After all, they are made out of dust. They can be crushed more easily than a moth.

how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth.

爾其思之、始造我身、猶陶之合土、今使我返本曷故。

耶和華上帝摶土為人、噓氣入鼻、而成血氣之人。

必汗流浹面、庶可餬口、逮歸於所出之土而後已。汝身乃土、死則返其本焉。

我與爾、無非上帝所甄陶、原無異也。

亞伯拉罕曰、吾雖若纖塵、而敢上告、

我躬已朽、如肉之已腐、如衣之被蠹。

我知此身、猶土室帷幕、雖壞、然有上帝經營、非手所作之室、悠久於天、

爾以為古訓、我比之塵沙、爾以為長城、我比之糞土。

我儕有此寶、藏於土器、使知莫大之能、非由我、乃由上帝、

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、

爾罰人罪、其所珍貴者悉廢之、如衣被蠧兮、凡此世人、實則氣而已。

不期大河忽決、而惡人與室廬悉遭淹沒。

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、

經云、世人惟草、其榮如花、草枯花謝、

人本摶土所為、死則返本、人之魂靈為上帝所賦畀、死則歸乎上帝。○

彼既斷氣、則歸於土、凡有謀為、既日消亡兮、

若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。
