²⁷ And Abraham answereth and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I -- dust and ashes;

⁵ And I say, `Wo to me, for I have been silent, For a man -- unclean of lips `am' I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou `art', and unto dust thou turnest back.'

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth `us' always to pray, and not to faint,

⁷ And Jehovah God formeth the man -- dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

¹ For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands -- age-during -- in the heavens,

² for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

⁴⁷ The first man `is' out of the earth, earthy; the second man `is' the Lord out of heaven;

⁴⁸ as `is' the earthy, such `are' also the earthy; and as `is' the heavenly, such `are' also the heavenly;

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

⁸ And now, O Jehovah, thou `art' our Father, We `are' the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand -- all of us.

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

³ Jehovah, what `is' man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

⁴ What `is' man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

⁶ Therefore do I loathe `it', And I have repented on dust and ashes.

⁷ And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

¹⁹ Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.

¹⁹ Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation `is' in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)

³⁰ And he saith, `Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, `I do `it' not, if I find there thirty.'

³¹ And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, `I do not destroy `it', because of the twenty.'

³² And he saith, `Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, `I do not destroy `it', because of the ten.'
