Of the Vanity of Human Life
Scripture
KJV
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
ESV
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.”
Genesis 47:9
Poem
This life's a dream, an empty show,
But the bright world to which I go
Hath joys substantial and sincere:
When shall I wake and find me there?
