You hideYour face,they are dismayed;You takeawaytheir spirit,they expireAnd returnto their dust.
then the dustwill returnto the earthas it was, and the spiritwill returnto Godwhogaveit.
His spiritdeparts,he returnsto the earth;In that very dayhis thoughtsperish.
noris He servedby humanhands,as though He neededanything,since He Himselfgivesto all[people] lifeand breathand all things;
You turnmanbackinto dustAnd say,"Return,O childrenof men."
O LORD,by Your favorYou have made my mountainto standstrong;You hidYour face,I was dismayed.
By the sweatof your faceYou will eatbread,Tillyou returnto the ground,Becausefrom it you were taken;For you are dust,And to dustyou shall return."
Remembernow,that You have mademe as clay;And would You turnme into dustagain?
"Then My angerwill be kindledagainst them in that day,and I will forsakethem and hideMy facefrom them, and they will be consumed,and manyevilsand troubleswill comeupon them; so that they will sayin that day,Is it not becauseour Godis not amongus that theseevilshave comeupon us?'
When He keepsquiet,whothen can condemn?And when He hidesHis face,whothen can beholdHim, That is, in regardto bothnationand man?--
"Whydo You hideYour faceAnd considerme Your enemy?
