The scripture sited is found at Genesis 3:17-19

"...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return..."KJV

"...for you are dust, and to dust you shall return....."NASB

When mankind was created(out of dust), he had the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. (Genesis 2:7)

Only one thing could change this outcome.(Genesis 2:15-17)

Humans were told, and understood, from the start, that the earth was theirs to care for and fill with their offspring (Genesis 1:28)(Psalms 115:16) and only disobedience to their creator would end their lives (Genesis 3:1-3). As perfect people, they willingly chose to disobey, and Genesis 3:19 was God's judgment on them, and on all their descendants, since they would now be born imperfect. (Romans 5:12) Man started out from dust, and returns to dust. (Ezekiel 18:4)(Psalms 146:3+4) (Romans 6:23).

He dies.
