Job 30:23

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”

You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.

Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.

to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.

The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.

“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:

‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers,

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”

In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.

All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.

I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’

“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.

For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

Yahweh of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.

Tell the land of Israel, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet fails to enjoy good, don’t all go to one place?

All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty years, then he died.

“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,

When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.

‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’ ”

Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

“Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.

Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.

But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;

The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.

“It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.

“ ‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
