Genesis 3:19, NIV: "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." This verse concludes God's curse on Adam for his sin, and it has a devastating ring of finality.

Proverbs 31:30 The Woman Who Fears the Lord 10 An excellent wife who can find?     She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,     and he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm,     all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax,     and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant;     she brings her food from afar. 15 She rises while it is yet night     and provides food for her household     and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it;     with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She dresses herself[b] with strength     and makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.     Her lam...
