They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others, and cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
