Wisdom of Solomon 2:3

Wisdom of Solomon 2:3 Context

¹For the vngodly said, reasoning with themselues, but not aright: Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedie: neither was there any man knowen to haue returned from the graue. ²For wee are borne at all aduenture: & we shalbe heereafter as though we had neuer bene: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a litle sparke in the mouing of our heart. ³Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft aire: ⁴And our name shalbe forgotten in time, and no man shall haue our works in remembrance, and our life shall passe away as the trace of a cloud: and shall be dispersed as a mist that is driuen away with the beames of the Sunne, and ouercome with the heat thereof. ⁵For our time is a very shadow that passeth away: and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man commeth againe.
