Genesis 3:19
19By the sweat of your faceyou shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
afor you are dust,
and bto dust you shall return.”
Job 30:23
23 cFor I know that you will bring me to deathand to the house appointed for dall living.
Psalms 90:3-10
3 You return man to dustand say, e“Return, fO children of man!” ▼
▼Or of Adam
4For ha thousand years in your sight
are but as iyesterday when it is past,
or as ja watch in the night.
5 You ksweep them away as with a flood; they are like la dream,
like mgrass that is renewed in the morning:
6in nthe morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it ofades and pwithers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8You have qset our iniquities before you,
our rsecret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span ▼
▼Or pride
is but toil and trouble;they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
7and tthe dust returns to the earth as it was, and uthe spirit returns to God vwho gave it.Isaiah 27:4
4I have no wrath.wWould that I had thorns and briers to battle!
I would march against them,
I would burn them up together.
Isaiah 57:16
16 xFor I will not contend forever,nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before me,
and the breath of life that I made.
