Psalms 103:16

Psa 103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

Ver. 16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ] Heb. it is not; that is, it neither continues any longer in being nor returns any more into being: so here, Job 14:7-12 .

And the place thereof shall know it no more ] Though, while it stood and flourished, the place of it seemed as it were to know nothing but it, the glory and beauty of it drew all eyes to it, &c. Think the same of men in their flourish, soon forgotten, as dead men out of mind, Psalms 31:12 .
