'Dust' in the Bible

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; My skin closeth up, and breaketh out afresh.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again?

The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust.

It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.

His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.

And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.

He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.

All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.

When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?

For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,

Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place .

Wherefore I abhor myself , And repent in dust and ashes.
