They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.

After Methuselah’s birth, Enoch walked with God for three hundred years, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living.

Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Yahweh says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”

Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed.

Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God took him.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.

Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”

Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:

“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.”

Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”

The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Yahweh, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name.

The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
