²⁷ Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

⁵ Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts!"

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

¹ He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

⁷ Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

² For most assuredly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁸ As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

⁸ But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."

⁸ But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.

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

³ Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

⁴ What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?

⁶ Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."

⁷ It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

⁸ Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."

¹⁹ He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.

¹⁹ How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

⁶ and I said, my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up to the heavens.

³⁰ He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

³¹ He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."

³² He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
