We have only been around since yesterday, and we know nothing.
Our days on earth are only a fleeting shadow.
-- Job 8:9 (GWT)
Only one life 'twill soon be past.
Only what's done for Christ will last.
-- Plaque that hung in my grandparents' home
By Faith! In Faith! (Hebrews 11)
Grateful

“Shadow” is also used as a metaphor for the brevity and transience of life. In Job 8:9, for example, we find this assessment: “For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.” Here shadows are seen as fleeting and insubstantial.
Exactly.
