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.

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

Then Abraham answered,“ Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord— even though I am 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.

So 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, The Lord of hosts.”

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”

The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

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

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

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

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,“ Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

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

Then he said,“ Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?” So He said,“ I will not do it if I find thirty there.”And he said,“ Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?” So He said,“ I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”Then he said,“ Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?” And He said,“ I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.”

What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

And I said:“ O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.

Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?

Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.”And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite,“ My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, 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, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
