Then Abraham spoke up again:“ Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes,

Then Abraham spoke up again. He said,“ I have been very bold to speak to the Lord. After all, I’m only dust and ashes.

Abraham answered and said,“ Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.

Then Abraham spoke again.“ Since I have begun, let me speak further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.

Then Abraham answered,“ Since I have ventured to speak to my lord— even though I am dust and ashes—

And Abraham replied,“ Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am only dust and ashes.

Then Abraham answered and said,“ Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which[ am but] dust and ashes:

Then Abraham asked,“ Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord( although I am but dust and ashes),

Abraham answered,“ See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

Then I said: Woe is me for I am ruined because I am a man of unclean lips and live among a people of unclean lips, and because my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

The first man was from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven.Like the man made of dust, so are those who are made of dust; like the heavenly man, so are those who are heavenly.

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

how much more those who dwell in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth!

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

Yet Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we all are the work of Your hands.

Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said,“ Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!”

He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.

Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak further. Suppose 30 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not do it if I find 30 there.”Then he said,“ Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose 20 are found there?” He replied,“ I will not destroy it on account of 20.”Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak one more time. Suppose 10 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not destroy it on account of 10.”

what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him?

For we know that if our temporary, earthly dwelling is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal dwelling in the heavens, not made with hands.Indeed, we groan in this body, desiring to put on our dwelling from heaven,

And I said: My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face toward You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads and our guilt is as high as the heavens.

Lord, what is man, that You care for him, the son of man, that You think of him?

Therefore I take back my words and repent in dust and ashes.After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite:“ I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.”
