Genesis

2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Thus the man became a living creature.

Ecclesiastes

3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die;

7:1 A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one's birth.

Psalms

8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him but little lower than God, and crownest him with glory and honor. Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

5:15 As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

Job

1:20 Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.

Genesis

3:19 You shall gain your bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground; for from it you were taken. Dust you are, to dust you shall return.

Ecclesiastes

3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward,

12:7 ... the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.

Ezekiel

18:3 Every living soul belongs to me; father and son alike are mine. The soul that sins shall die.

I Samuel

28:19 ... and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: (Samuel, after his death, to Saul)

Psalms

23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms

16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

II Samuel

12:23 But now he is dead, Why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me. (David, about his son)

Job

7:6 My days are swifter than a shuttle and come to an end as the thread runs out. Remember, my life is but a breath of wind; I shall never again see good days. Thou wilt behold me no more with a seeing eye; under thy very eyes I shall disappear. As clouds break up and disperse, so he that goes down to Sheol never comes back; he never returns home again, and his place will know him no more.

10:20 Let me be, that I may be happy for a moment, before I depart to a land of gloom, a land of deep darkness, never to return, a land of gathering shadows, of deepening darkness, lit by no ray of light, dark upon dark.

Leviticus

10:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

Psalms

89:19 Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said: "I have set the crown on one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

49:16 Do not be afraid when some become rich, when the wealth of their houses increases. For when they die they will carry nothing away; their wealth will not go down after them. Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy - for you are praised when you do well for yourself - they will go to the company of their ancestors, who will never again see the light.

Psalms

49:1 Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the harp.

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me, those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches? Truly, no ransom avails for one's life, there is no price one can give to God for it. For the ransom of life is costly, and can never suffice, that one should live on forever and never see the grave.

10 When we look at the wise, they die; fool and dolt perish together and leave their wealth to others. Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they named lands their own. Mortals cannot abide in their pomp; they are like the animals that perish.

13 Such is the fate of the foolhardy, the end of those who are pleased with their lot. ... Mortals cannot abide in their pomp; they are like the animals that perish.

Proverbs

19:16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth to the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Ezekiel

18:31 I will judge every man of you on his deeds. Turn, turn from your offences, or your iniquity will be your downfall. Throw off the load of your past misdeeds; get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, you men of Israel? I have no desire for any man's death.

Psalms

15:1 ... who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalms

32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee... For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Ecclesiastes

12:6 Or ever the silver cord shall be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.
