Man, who is
born of woman,
is short-lived
and full of turmoil.
Like a flower,
he comes forth and withers.
He also flees
like a shadow,
and does not
remain.
Job 14: 1,2
As for the days
of our life,
they contain
seventy years,
or if due to
strength, eighty years;
yet their pride
is but labor and sorrow;
for soon it
is gone and we fly away.
Psalm 90: 10
As for man,
his days are like grass;
as a flower
of the field, so he flourishes.
When the wind
has passed over it,
it is no more,
and its place
acknowledges it no longer.
Psalm
103: 15,16
|
Unless the LORD
builds the house,
they labor in
vain who build it;
Unless the LORD
guards the city,
the watchman
keeps awake in vain.
It is vain for
you to rise up early,
to retire late,
to eat the bread
of painful labors;
For He gives
to His beloved,
even in his
sleep.
Psalms 127:
1-2
As he came naked
from his mother's
womb,
so shall he
return as he came.
He will take
nothing
from the fruit
of his labor
that he cannot
carry in his hand.
So what is the
advantage to him
who toils for
the wind?
Ecclesiates
5: 15,16
|
Do not weary
yourself to gain riches,
cease from your
consideration of it.
When you set
your eyes on it,
it is gone,
for wealth certainly
makes itself wings.
like an eagle
that flies to the heavens.
Proverbs
23: 4-5
Do not
lay up for yourselves
treasures upon
earth,
where moth and
rust destoy,
and where thieves
break in and steal;
but lay up for
yourselves
treasures in
Heaven,
where neither
rust
nor moth destroys,
and where thieves
do not
break in and
steal.
For where your
treasure is,
there your heart
will be also.
Matthew
6: 19-21
