ગુજરાતી1 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૯:૧૫
કેમ કે અમે અમારા પૂર્વજોની જેમ તમારી આગળ મુસાફર તથા પરદેશી જેવા છીએ, આ પૃથ્વી પરના અમારા દિવસો પડછાયા જેવા છે. પૃથ્વી પર અમને કંઈ જ આશા નથી.
हिन्दी1 इतिहास २९:१५
तेरी दृष्टि में हम तो अपने सब पुरखाओं के समान पराए और परदेशी हैं; पृथ्वी पर हमारे दिन छाया के समान बीत जाते हैं, और हमारा कुछ ठिकाना नहीं। (इब्रा. 11:13, भज. 39:12, भज. 114:4)

In context

13Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.

14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.

15For we are strangers before you and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

16LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

17I know also, my God, that you try the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.
