For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

  Psalm 90:9

Job 3:17     They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm shall cover them. Job 21:26

For we are as strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. Psalm 144:4

4.

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return again unto dust. Job 34:15     One generation cometh, and another goeth. They dwell in houses of clay, their foundation is in the dust, they are
