Genesis
By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground for from it [the ground] were you taken. For you are dust and to dust you shall return.
Ecclesiastes
No man keeps the spirit [i.e., the will of the L-rd's messenger] from depriving him [(the man)] of the spirit [(i.e., the breath of his body,) so that the Angel of Death not take it]. And [no king's] rule prevails [on the appointed] day of his death. [e.g., we always find “And King David did, etc."; but, on the day of his death, we find (I Kings 2:1): "And the days of David drew near to die."] And there is no deputation [(of another to serve as a stand-in)] in this war. And evil will not rescue its practitioner.
