| Job 14:2 | *Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state. Job 8:9.; Psalm 144:4. | Shadow. Pulvis et umbra sumus. (Horace 4:Ode 7.) "Come then, ye men, whom nature condemns to spend your days in darkness, ye who resemble the leaves, are of little strength, formed of mud, shadow-like,...of a day's duration, miserable mortals, men like dreams, attend to the immortals." (Aristophanes, Avib.) --- Most of these expressions occur in Job, Psalm 101:12., Wisdom 2:5., and Ecclesiastes 2:23., etc. |
