Dust in the Wind- Kansas

[Lightknight]

I'm doing a paper on this as it correlates with OT scripture. I know the scripture is found in Ecclesiastes, but is there anywhere else in the Bible I can find similar phrases?

Similar thoughts can be found in Job and Lamentations, but not really anywhere else, except maybe a few of the prophets that were having a down moment.
Because IMO Ecc. is not from God, but just Solomon having a pity party.
I'm not saying it is worthless reading (it is very powerful), we all have those feelings, and it is good to see that someone as powerful as Solomon also deals with these personal issues.

That said, "dust" appears numerous times in the bible (search via bible.org).

...going out on a limb here (or maybe just futher out)...

And the thought that man came from dust, and will return to dust is a prevalent OT theme.

In the NT, it is just the earthly body that returns to dust.
