And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

For affliction comes not forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

And that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?

And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?

Does not the ear test words? and the mouth taste its food?

The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.

They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their heart prepares deceit.

I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and laid my strength in the dust.

They shall go down to the gates of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and pile up clothing as the clay;

The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it has dust of gold.

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

If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot has hastened to deceit;

All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again unto dust.

When the dust grows into clumps, and the clods cleave fast together?

Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
