Who knows what’s good for a person? They live for only a few meaningless days. They pass through life like a shadow. Who can tell them what will happen on earth after they are gone?

For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

In the few days of our meaningless lives, who knows how our days can best be spent? Our lives are like a shadow. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?

For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?

For no one knows what is best for a person during his life– during the few days of his fleeting life– for they pass away like a shadow. Nor can anyone tell him what the future will hold for him on earth.

whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.

“ The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“ Therefore I hope in Him!”The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.

So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. SelahSurely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them.

For he does not know what will happen; So who can tell him when it will occur?

The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?

My days are like a shadow that lengthens, And I wither away like grass.

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.

I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust.

For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.

There are many who say,“ Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.

He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
