For He remembered that they are but flesh, a passing breath that never returns.
For he remembered that they were but flesh; A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
For He [earnestly] remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that goes and does not return.
And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
God kept remembering that they were just flesh, just breath that passes and doesn’t come back.
Then Adonai said, “My Spirit will not remain with humankind forever, since they are flesh. So their days will be 120 years.
Remember You fashioned me like clay; will You return me to dust?
I despise it; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a vapor.
Remember, my life is but a breath; my eyes will not see goodness again!
What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
