Genesis 3:17-19

17And to Adam he said,

Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
aof which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
bcursed is the ground because of you;
cin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
dfor you are dust,
and eto dust you shall return.”

Job 14:1-4

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All

1 Man who is fborn of a woman
is gfew of days and hfull of trouble.
2He comes out like ia flower and jwithers;
he flees like ka shadow and continues not.
3And do you lopen your eyes on such a one
and mbring me into judgment with you?
4Who can bring na clean thing out of an unclean?
There is not one.

Job 15:16

16 ohow much less one who is abominable and pcorrupt,
a man who qdrinks injustice like water!

Psalms 49:14

14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright rshall rule over them in the morning.
sTheir form shall be consumed tin Sheol, with no place to dwell.

Psalms 49:19-20

19his soul will ugo to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again vsee light.
20 wMan in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 73:18-19

18 Truly you set them in xslippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19How they are destroyed yin a moment,
swept away utterly by zterrors!

Psalms 90:5-12

5 You aasweep them away as with a flood; they are like aba dream,
like acgrass that is renewed in the morning:
6in adthe morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it aefades and afwithers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8You have agset our iniquities before you,
our ahsecret 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.
11Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you?
12 ajSo teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
