Psalm 102:27
Hebrew Bible
23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; he has cut short my days. 24 I say, “O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life. You endure through all generations. 25 In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork. 26 They will perish, but you will endure. They will wear out like a garment; like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 27 But you remain; your years do not come to an end. 28 The children of your servants will settle down here, and their descendants will live securely in your presence.”

Ladder of Jacob 8:11
Pseudepigrapha
8 And he will be wounded in the midst of the house of the beloved; but when he is wounded, then also the saving and the end of all corruption draws near. 9 For those who have wounded him shall themselves receive a wound which shall not be healed for them for ever. 10 But all creatures shall worship the wounded one, and many shall hope in him, and everywhere, and among all the Gentiles, shall he be known. 11 But those who have known his name shall not be put to shame, and his own might and his years shall not fail for ever.
