Wisdom 2:5 *For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth:

1 Paralipomenon 29:15.
Sealed, like one in the tomb, Matthew 27:66. The epicureans were well convinced of the fragility of our nature: but they drew false inferences from it, pretending that we should enjoy ourselves now, as there will be no future life. This they ought to have proved. (Calmet)
