³ Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

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.'

¹⁴ If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.

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

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

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

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

⁷ And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'

³⁵ I `am' Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; -- in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'

¹⁰ In whose hand `is' the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.'

⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
