In Genesis 3:19, it is written, "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 serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin, highlighting the mortality and impermanence of human life. It emphasizes the labor and toil that humans must endure to sustain themselves, ultimately leading to their inevitable return to the earth upon death.
