Wisdom of Solomon 2:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Our name will be forgotten in time,
and no one will remember our works;
our life will pass away like the traces of a cloud
and be scattered like mist
that is chased by the rays of the sun
and overcome by its heat.(A)
5 For our allotted time is the passing of a shadow,
and there is no return from our death,
because it is sealed up and no one turns back.(B)
6 “Come, therefore, let us enjoy the good things that exist
and make use of the creation to the full as in youth.(C)
