Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. / For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. / Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. / In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
