The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Dies mei velocius transierunt quam a texente tela succiditur, et consumpti sunt absque ulla spe.
Septuagint (Swete): ὁ δὲ βίος μού ἐστιν ἐλαφρώτερος λαλιᾶς, ἀπόλωλεν δὲ ἐν κενῇ ἐλπίδι.
Hebrew (WLC): יָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ מִנִּי אָ֑רֶג וַ֝יִּכְל֗וּ בְּאֶ֣פֶס תִּקְוָֽה

Haydock's commentary

Web. Hebrew, "the weaver's shuttle," chap. xvi. 23., and Isaias xxxviii. 12. (Haydock)

The pagans have used the same comparison. But they make the three daughters of Necessity guide the thread of life. (Plato, Rep. xii.; Natal. iii. 6.)

Septuagint, "my life is swifter than speech." Tetrapla, "than a runner." (Calmet)

Hope. Heu fugit, &c. Ah! time is flying , never to return! (Haydock)
