Wisdom 5:10
Print
They’re gone like a ship passing through a storm-tossed sea: once it has passed, it leaves no trace of its passing; its keel leaves no lasting mark on the waves.
And as a ship that passeth through the waves: whereof when it is gone by, the trace cannot be found, nor the path of its keel in the waters:
A ship sails across the waves of the ocean, but when it is gone, it leaves no trace. You cannot tell it was ever there.
Like a ship traversing the heaving water: when it has passed, no trace can be found, no path of its keel in the waves.
like a ship that sails through the surging waters of whose passage—once it has passed by—no trace can be found, no wake from its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, no track of its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, no track of its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, no track of its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, no track of its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, nor track of its keel in the waves;
like a ship that sails through the billowy water, and when it has passed no trace can be found, nor track of its keel in the waves;
And as a ship, that passeth through the flowing water, of [the] which when it hath passed, it is not to find a step [or a step is not to find], neither the path of the bottom thereof in (the) waves.
