我們知道，我們的身體好比是地上的帳篷，如果毀壞了，我們就從上帝那裡得到一個住處，不是人手造的，而是天上永恆的「房屋」。

耶和華對摩西說：「我要抹去世人對亞瑪力人的記憶。你要把這話記在書卷上作紀念，也要把這話告訴約書亞。」

更何況源自塵土、住在土造的軀殼裡、脆弱如蛾的世人呢？

亞伯拉罕說：「主啊，雖然我渺小如灰塵，但我還要大膽地求問你，

義人流芳於世，惡人名聲朽爛。

願耶和華永不忘記他的罪惡，把他從世上剷除。

耶和華上帝用地上的塵土造了人，把生命的氣息吹進他的鼻孔裡，他就成了有生命的人。

他們都已死去，再不能復生，逝去的靈魂不能回來。因為你懲罰他們，毀滅他們，使他們被人徹底遺忘。

耶和華啊！唯有你永遠做王，你的大名萬代長存。

他從世上銷聲匿跡，無人記得他的名字。
