Bible Comments

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread His business, before he sinned, was a constant pleasure to him; but now his labour shall be a weariness. Unto dust shalt thou return Thy body shall be forsaken by thy soul, and become itself a lump of dust, and then it shall be lodged in the grave, and mingle with the dust of the earth.

Genesis 3:19

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
