Psalms 39:5-6

5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and amy lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely ball mankind stands as a mere breath!  Selah
6Surely a man cgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing
Hebrew  Surely as a breath
they are in turmoil;
man eheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

Psalms 89:47-48

47 fRemember ghow short my htime is!
For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
48 iWhat man can live and never jsee death?
Who can deliver his soul from the power of kSheol?  Selah

Ecclesiastes 2:20-23

20So I lturned about and gave my heart up to despair mover all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22What has a man from nall the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23For oall his days are full of sorrow, and his pwork is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
