By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”

For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath,all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust.

But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.

For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.

When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.

I, the Lord, have spoken! I will certainly do these things to every member of the community who has conspired against me. They will be destroyed here in this wilderness, and here they will die!”

So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.And the Lord said,“ I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing— all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them.”
