Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth?

Yea, though he lives twice a thousand years, yet he has seen no goodness. Do not all go to one place?

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work nor reasoning nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol where you go.

Then Abraham expired and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

And these were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.

And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered.

Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins. Behold, they cry out for help when He destroys it.

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you have been taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

Remember, I beseech You, that You have made me like clay. And will You bring me back and return me to dust?

Did you not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?

all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.

You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

And many of those sleeping in the earth's dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.
