¹⁵ All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.

¹⁹ in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

⁷ and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.

¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.

²² It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

⁹ Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again?

²³ For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.

³ Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

⁴ Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
