'Dust' in the Bible

how much less confidence does he have in those who dwell in houses of clay; who were formed from a foundation in dust and can perish like a moth?

For wickedness doesn't crop up from dust, nor does trouble sprout out of the ground;

Why haven't you pardoned my transgression and taken away my iniquity? Now I'm about to lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I won't be around!"

""Please remember that you've made me like clay and you'll return me to dust.

"I've even sewn sackcloth directly to my skin; I've buried my strength in the dust.

Will it go down to the bars that lock the doors of the afterlife? Will we descend together into the dust?"

Though his bones were full of youthful vigor; yet they will lie down with him in the dust.

They both lie down in the dust; and worms cover them."

Bury your gold nuggets in the dust, and your source of gold among the stones in a streambed,

"Though he hoards silver like dust, and stores away garments like clay,

where stones are sapphire and gold dust can be found,

"He tossed me into the mire; I've become like dust and ashes.

every living thing would die all at once, and mankind would return to dust."

when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?

buried them in the dust together, and sent them bound to that secret place,

As a result, I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."
