Ecclesiastes 3:20

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

All go unto one place,.... The earth from whence they came;all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again; Adam's body was made of the dust of the earth, and so all his posterity, all of them; in which they agree with beasts, who are made of the dust also; and, when they die, return to it; see Ge 2:7.

"Magna parens terra est", Ovid. Metamorph. l. 1. Fab.
