חֶלֶד in Scripture

Job 11:17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. Psalms 17:14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure : they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. Psalms 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Psalms 49:1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: Psalms 89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
