Psalm 78:39

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.

See the chapter Copy

whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

“Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.

Then the Lord said, “My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.”

I loathe my life; I would not live for ever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.

Remember that thou hast made me of clay; and wilt thou turn me to dust again?

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
