Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Our days may come to seventy years or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass away. Psalms 90:10-12
The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field, the wind blows over it and is gone, and its place remembers it no more. Psalms 103:15
Now listen, you who say, “ Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business or make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:13-14
He thought to himself, “ What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.” Then he said, “ This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there l will store my surplus grain. And l will say to myself. “ You gave grain for many years. Take life easy, eat drink and be merry.” But God said to him. You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself? Luke 12:18-20
