Genesis 3:19
New King James Version
19 (A)In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;

And (C)to dust you shall return.”
Ecclesiastes 12:5-7
New King James Version
5 Also they are afraid of height,
And of terrors in the way;
When the almond tree blossoms,
The grasshopper is a burden,
And desire fails.
For man goes to (A)his eternal home,
And (B)the mourners go about the streets.
6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is [a]loosed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well.
7 (C)Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
(D)And the spirit will return to God (E)who gave it.
