Ecclesiastes 3:10

I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

Genesis 3:19

By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”

Ecclesiastes 1:13-14

And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

1 Thessalonians 2:9

2 Thessalonians 3:8

nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
