ai Ps. 39:6; [Job 27:17-22; Eccles. 2:18, 21]

Job 20:5-7

5 ^athat the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 ^bThough his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
7 he will perish forever like his own ^cdung;
those who have seen him will say, ^d‘Where is he?’

Psalms 37:35-36

35 ^eI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like ^fa green laurel tree. ^{▼▼The identity of this tree is uncertain}
36 But he passed away, ^{▼▼Or But one passed by} and behold, ⁱhe was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.

Psalms 49:6-12

6 those who ^jtrust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly no man ^kcan ransom another,
or ^lgive to God ^mthe price of his life,
8 for ⁿthe ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9 that he should live on forever
and ^onever see the pit.
10 For he sees ^pthat even the wise die;
^qthe fool and the stupid alike must perish
and ^rleave their wealth to others.
11 Their ^sgraves are their homes forever, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Their inward thought was that their homes were forever}
their dwelling places ^uto all generations,
though they ^vcalled lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp ^wwill not remain;
^xhe is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 73:17-20

17 until I went into ^ythe sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their ^zend.
18 Truly you set them in ^aaslippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed ^abin a moment,
swept away utterly by ^acterrors!
20 Like ^ada dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when ^aeyou rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

Luke 12:20

20 But God said to him, ^af‘Fool! ^agThis night ^ahyour soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, ^aiwhose will they be?’
