New International Version (NIV)

2They spring up like flowers and wither away;

like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.

2“Like a flower he comes out and withers.

He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

2“Like a flower he comes forth and withers;

He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away;

like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.

2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:

He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

2He shooteth foorth as a flowre, and is cut downe: he vanisheth also as a shadowe, and continueth not.

2He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.

He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.

2They grow like flowers, and then they dry up.

They are like shadows that quickly disappear.

2He is like a flower that grows

and then it soon dies.

His life quickly disappears like a shadow.

2As a flower he has gone forth, and is cut off, || And he flees as a shadow and does not stand.
