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

⁹ Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.

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.

⁶ Lo, I `am', according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed.

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 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,

⁷ And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

²⁸ And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.

¹² Your remembrances `are' similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.

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

²⁴ because all flesh `is' as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

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

⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass `are' his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

¹⁶ For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

⁵ Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.

⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

¹¹ With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity `is' every man. Selah.

¹⁶ Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.

² As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.
