Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Psalms 39:5You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah Psalms 103:14For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.Job 14:1“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.Job 7:7Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.Job 10:9Please remember that You molded me like clay. Would You now return me to dust?James 4:14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.Job 9:25–26My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.Psalms 144:4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.Psalms 39:5–6You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah Psalms 119:84How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?2 Kings 20:3“Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.Job 9:25My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.Lamentations 3:19Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.Ecclesiastes 6:12For who knows what is good for a man during the few days in which he passes through his fleeting life like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will come after him under the sun?Ecclesiastes 2:17So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
