It does not say that in any particular scripture, but it is certainly implied.
Mankind COULD have lived forever, without ever dying (Genesis 2:15-17), but
**Our original ancestor,Adam, chose to disobey God and so died at 930 years of age(Genesis 5:5), bringing sin and death to all his descendants (Romans 5:12). Methuselah was the oldest recorded man who ever lived on earth, at 969 years(Genesis 5:27), Noah 950 years(Genesis 9:29).
In fact, the majority of people in the ten generations between Adam and Noah, lived to be over 850 years old, but that did not last.
**After the flood, human life expectancy dropped significantly.
Abraham's father, Terah, died after 205 years(Genesis 11:32), Abraham at 175 (Genesis 25:7-8), Sarah at 127 years (Genesis 23:1-2)
**Years later, Moses, (who died at 120), said that life would amount to seventy or eighty years(Psalm 90:10) and we're still around that number now. (Deuteronomy 34:7)
So, the implication is that the closer to 'perfection' we were, the longer we lived. As we got further away, and more sinful, our age dropped in perportion.
Over time, as we've weakened, mankind has gotten sicker physically, spiritually and socially (2 Timothy 3:1-5) and will until God steps in to change things (Matthew 24:3-14)

II Samuel 3:1 says, 'Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.'Each generation, the people grew stronger and weaker even though they were of two different houses.There is no such statement in the Bible.Others have said:A:I do not recall any such passage, so I started digging with Bible software that allows phrase searches as well as single-word searches. Having scoured five different translations using the keywords "children," "your children," "the children," "children will," and "weaker and wiser," I can report with some assurance that the Bible doesn't even come close to saying such a thing. (I can also report that the phrase, "The children of Israel" is probably the single most-often repeated phrase in the Old Testament!) Children aside, none of the translations I searched (KJV, NKJV, Standard, Douay Rheims and NIV) even contains the phrase, "weaker and wiser."A:It's somewhat surprising to discover that the word "weaker" appears in only two verses in the King James translation, and "wiser" only eight times. None of the references have anything to do with literal children as in "young people."A:The only verse that comes anywhere close to the statement in the question is the King James rendering of Luke 16:8 - And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.There is no such statement in the Bible.The only verse in the King James version in which the word - wiser - and the word - children - appear isLuk 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
