By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.*
For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which can't be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be in the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the khagav shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:
