Psalms 144:4
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
144:4. Man is like to vanity. He is actually vain, and resembles a puff, a bubble. Yet he is not vanity, but only like it. He is not so substantial as that unreal thing.
His days are as a shadow that passeth away. He is short-lived; his life is only like to a shadow, which is a vague resemblance, an absence of something rather than in itself an existence. Human life is not only as a shade, but as a shade which is about to depart. It is a mere mirage. How is it that the Eternal should make so much of mortal man, who begins to die as soon as he begins to live?
