²⁰ The whole are going unto one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back unto the dust.

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou `art', and unto dust thou turnest back.'

¹⁵ Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.

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

¹⁰ All that thy hand findeth to do, with thy power do, for there is no work, and device, and knowledge, and wisdom in Sheol whither thou art going.

⁶ And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?

²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

⁹ Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.

¹⁰ Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me?

⁹ Consumed hath been a cloud, and it goeth, So he who is going down to Sheol cometh not up.

¹³ If I wait -- Sheol `is' my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.

¹³ and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,

¹⁷ And these `are' the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;

⁸ and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
