The length of our lives is decided beforehand--- the number of months we will live. You have settled it, and it can't be changed.

If a man dies, can he come back to life? But I will wait for better times, wait till this time of trouble is ended.

Like a cloud that fades and is gone, we humans die and never return; we are forgotten by all who knew us.

(SEE 7:9)

But we die, and that is the end of us; we die, and where are we then?

You will be afraid of high places, and walking will be dangerous. Your hair will turn white; you will hardly be able to drag yourself along, and all desire will be gone. We are going to our final resting place, and then there will be mourning in the streets.
