47 Remember how fleeting is my life.

For what futility you have created all humanity!

47 Remember how short my time is:

Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

47 Remember how short my life is,

how empty and futile this human existence!

47 Remember how short my time is;

For what futility have You created all the children of men?

47 Remember how short my life is.

Why did you create us? For nothing?

47 Oh remember how short my time is:

For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

47 Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?

47 Remember how short my life is! 

Have you created Adam’s descendants for no reason? 

47 Remember how short my life is.

Have You created everyone for nothing?

47 Remember how short my time is—

for what vanity you have created all mortals!

47 Remember what my lifespan is.

Remember for what vanity

you have created all the children of humankind.

47 Remember how short my life is.

You have created all people for such a useless purpose!

47 Remember what my span of life is;

For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!
