전도서 3:19의 Quotation_auto_tanakh

Lord of all the worlds! Not on account of our righteousness do we offer our supplications before You, but on account of Your abundant mercy. What are we? What is our life? What are our acts of kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our deliverance?⁴Of ourselves or others. What is our strength? What is our might? What can we say before You, Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers? Are not all the mighty men as nothing before You? Famous men as though they had never been? The wise as if they were without knowledge? And men of understanding, as if they were devoid of intelligence? For most of their actions are a waste,⁵In terms of achievement.—Dover Sholom and the days of their life are trivial⁶In terms of time.—Dover Sholom in Your presence. The superiority of man over the beast is nil, for all is futile.

For most of their actions are a waste,⁵In terms of achievement.—Dover Sholom and the days of their life are trivial⁶In terms of time.—Dover Sholom in Your presence. The superiority of man over the beast is nil, for all is futile. Except the pure soul which is destined to give an accounting before the Throne of Your Glory. All the nations are as nothing before you, as it is written: The nations are as a drop of a bucket— no more than dust upon the scales are they considered! Behold, the isles are like the flying dust.⁷Isaiah 40:15.
