Wisdom 2:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 For our body shall be quenched ashes, and the spirit shall be scattered abroad as soft air; and our life shall pass as the step of a cloud, and it shall be departed as a mist, which is driven away of (or by) the beams of the sun, and is grieved of (or by) the heart thereof.
4 And our name shall take forgetting by the passing of time; and no man shall have mind (or remembrance) of our works.
5 For why our time is the passing of a shadow, and no (re)turning again of (or after) our end there is; for it is asealed, and no man (re)turneth again. [Forsooth the passing of the shadow is our time, and there is not turning again of our end; for it is all closed, and no man turneth again.]
