THE LIFE OF MAN COMPARED TO WIND
"My Life is Wind? Job 7:7.
PARALLELS.
I. THE Wind passeth away speedily: so doth the Life of Man.
II. The Wind passeth irresistibly, you cannot stop the Wind: so no Man, be he never so strong, can hinder the speedy motion of his days.
III. The Wind when it is past, returns no more; as you cannot stop the wind, or change its course; so all the power in the world is not able to recall or direct Man's Life; which way the Wind goes, it will go; and so soon as it comes, it is gone: so when a Man's days are gone, there is no recalling of them again: our days pass, and shall not return, by any law or constitution of nature, or by any efficacy of natural causes. "He remembered that they were but flesh, Wind that passeth away," Ps 78:39.
