Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom

Psalm 102:11 My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
Ecclesiastes 6:12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
