況居於土舍、其基塵埃、為蟲所蝕者乎、

Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

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

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay.

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,

“ So man wastes away like something rotten, like a garment eaten by moths.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.

When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth— surely everyone is but a breath.

They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

For,“ All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.

They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.
