LIFE, AS MORTAL ｜ 人生的短暂

ENLIFE, AS MORTAL. Brevity and frailty: Gen. 47:9. Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been. 1 Chron. 29:15. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. Ps. 39:5, 6. Behold, Thou hast made my days as handbreadths; . . . surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Ps. 90:9, 10. We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten. Ps. 102:11. My days are like a shadow that declineth. Ps. 103:15, 16. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. Job 7:6, 7, 9. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle. O remember that my life is wind. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. Job 9:25, 26. My days are swifter than a post: they are passed away as the swift ships. Job 14:1, 2. Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

BSBPsalm 103:15, 16 15 As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field; 16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

中人生的短暂（必死的人生）。短暂与脆弱：创世记 47:9 —— 我平生的年日又少又苦。历代志上 29:15 —— 我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存（原文作没有指望）。诗篇 39:5-6 —— 你使我的年日窄如手掌……各人最稳妥的时候，真是全然虚幻。90:9-10 —— 我们度尽的年岁好像一声叹息。我们一生的年日是七十岁。102:11 —— 我的年日如日影偏斜。103:15-16 —— 至于世人，他的年日如草一样；他发旺如野地的花。约伯记 7:6-7, 9 —— 我的日子比梭更快。求你想念，我的生命不过是一口气。云彩消散而过，照样，人下阴间也不再上来。9:25-26 —— 我的日子比跑信的更快……如快船过去。14:1-2 —— 人为妇人所生，日子短少，多有患难。出来如花，又被割下；飞去如影，不能存留。

ENIsa. 40:6, 7. All flesh is grass . . . The grass withereth, the flower fadeth. Isa. 64:6. We all do fade as a leaf. James 4:14. What is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 1 Pet. 1:24. 1 John 2:17. The world passeth away, and the lust thereof. Isa. 2:22. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils. Micah 2:10. Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest. Heb. 13:14. Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 2 Cor. 5:4. We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened.

BSBJames 4:14 You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

中以赛亚书 40:6-7 —— 凡有血气的尽都如草……草必枯干，花必凋残。64:6 —— 我们都像叶子渐渐枯干。雅各书 4:14 —— 你们的生命是什么呢？你们原来是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了。彼得前书 1:24。约翰一书 2:17 —— 这世界和其上的情欲都要过去。以赛亚书 2:22 —— 你们休要倚靠世人，他鼻孔里不过有气息。弥迦书 2:10 —— 你们起来去吧！这不是你们安息之所。希伯来书 13:14 —— 我们在这里本没有常存的城，乃是寻求那将来的城。哥林多后书 5:4 —— 我们在这帐棚里叹息劳苦，并非愿意脱下这个。

ENTime to be redeemed: Ps. 90:12. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Eph. 5:15, 16. Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Col. 4:5. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Wasted years restored: Joel 2:25. I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.

BSBEphesians 5:15, 16 15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

中当爱惜（赎回）光阴：诗篇 90:12 —— 求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子，好叫我们得着智慧的心。以弗所书 5:15-16 —— 你们要谨慎行事，不要像愚昧人，当像智慧人。要爱惜光阴（原文作赎回光阴），因为现今的世代邪恶。歌罗西书 4:5 —— 你们要爱惜光阴，用智慧与外人交往。虚度的年日得以复还：约珥书 2:25 —— 我打发到你们中间的大军队……蝗虫……所吃的那些年日，我要补还你们。
