The reciter: He (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in the context of the verses in the chapter: "Remembrance of Death and the Shortness of Hope:
Allah the Exalted said:

And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die

وما تدري نفس ماذا تكسب غدا وما تدري نفس بأي أرض تموت

[Luqman 31:34]

And He the Exalted said:

So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون

[Al-A'raf 7:34]

.
And Allah the Exalted said:

⁽⁹⁾ O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers. ⁽¹⁰⁾ And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous." ⁽¹¹⁾ But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.

[Al-Munafiqun 63:9-11]
