'Earth' in the Bible

A generation goes and a generation comes,but the earth remains forever.

Who knows if the spirit of people rises upward and the spirit of animals goes downward to the earth?

Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

There is certainly no righteous man on the earthwho does good and never sins.

There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the activity that is done on the earth (even though one’s eyes do not close in sleep day or night),

Give a portion to seven or even to eight,for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.

If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth;whether a tree falls to the south or the north,the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

and the dust returns to the earth as it once was,and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
