Everything that’s from the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly come from a curse and go to destruction.
The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach.
What comes into being from nothing will return to nothing; so it will be with the godless, doomed to extinction.
All that is nought returns to nought, so too the godless—from void to void.
All that comes from the earth returns to the earth; so too the wicked go from malediction to destruction.
Whatever comes from earth returns to earth; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
Whatever comes from earth returns to earth; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
Whatever comes from earth returns to earth; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
Whatever comes from earth returns to earth, so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
Whatever is from the dust returns to dust; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
Whatever is from the dust returns to dust; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
All things that be of the earth, shall (re)turn into the earth; so wicked [or unpious] men shall turn from cursing into perdition.
