They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

人好像一口气；他的年日如同影儿快快过去。

人不过像一口气，他的年日如影消逝。

因为人不过像一口气，他的年日不过像影子转眼消逝。

人不过像一口气，他的年日仿佛影子消逝。

人好像一口气，他的年日就像影子那样过去。

人好像一口氣；他的年日如同影兒快快過去。

人不過像一口氣，他的年日如影消逝。

人不過像一口氣，他的年日如影消逝。

因為人不過像一口氣，他的年日不過像影子轉眼消逝。

人不過像一口氣，他的年日仿佛影子消逝。

人好比一口氣；他的年日如同影兒直在過去。

人好像一口氣，他的年日就像影子那樣過去。

世人如氣息、其日如影迅逝兮、

斯世之人、如氣呼吸、人之生命、如影沉西兮、

世人有如虛幻、其年壽如影易逝、

人生如夢影。歲月同浮雲。浮雲瞬息逝。蹤跡不可尋。

Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath. Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

For they are like a breath of air; their days are like a passing shadow.

A human is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like to vanity: his days[ are] as a shadow that passeth away.

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

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.

I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.“ Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.

“ Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.“ Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”

Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.

“ Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.Do you fix your eye on them? Will you bring them before you for judgment?

When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth— surely everyone is but a breath.

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

Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.

“ Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.“ Everything is meaningless!”

Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
