You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.Proverbs 27:1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.Mark 13:35Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.Ecclesiastes 9:10Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.Isaiah 38:1In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill.
