all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.
By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
For 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.
I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together.
You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!” For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers. For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.
For I know that you will bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living.
Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?
It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
