ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૨:૭
જેવી અગાઉ ધૂળ હતી તેવી જ પાછી ધૂળ થઈ જશે, અને ઈશ્વરે જે આત્મા આપેલો હશે તે તેમની પાસે પાછો જશે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक १२:७
जब मिट्टी ज्यों की त्यों मिट्टी में मिल जाएगी, और आत्मा परमेश्वर के पास जिसने उसे दिया लौट जाएगी ।

In context

5yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets;

6before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the spring, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

7and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “All is vanity!”

9Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
