Job 29:2

2 Oh, that I were as in the months of old,
as in the days when God watched over me,

Psalms 6:6

6 I am aweary with my bmoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.

Psalms 39:5

5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and cmy lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely dall mankind stands as a mere breath!  Selah

Ecclesiastes 1:14

14I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is evanity
The Hebrew term hebel can refer to a “vapor” or “mere breath” (see note on 1:2)
and a striving after wind.
Or  a feeding on wind; compare Hosea 12:1 (also in Ecclesiastes 1:17; 2:11, 17, 26; 4:4, 6, 16; 6:9)
