He remembered that they were only flesh and blood, a breeze that blows and does not return.
You don’t know what will happen tomorrow. What is life? You are a mist that is seen for a moment and then disappears.
Remember, my life is only a breath, and never again will my eyes see anything good.
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not struggle with humans forever, because they are flesh and blood. They will live 120 years.”
I hate my life; I do not want to live forever. Leave me alone because my days are so brief.
Please remember that you made me out of clay and that you will return me to the dust again.
Flesh and blood give birth to flesh and blood, but the Spirit gives birth to things that are spiritual.
