When they looked from a distance, they could barely recognize him. They wept aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust into the air and on his head.

how much more those who dwell in clay houses,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like a moth!

They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk;
they perish forever while no one notices.

Surely this is the joy of his way of life;
yet others will sprout from the dust.

Please remember that You formed me like clay.
Will You now return me to dust?

I have sewn sackcloth over my skin;
I have buried my strength in the dust.

Will it go down to the gates of Sheol,
or will we descend together to the dust?

But I know my living Redeemer,
and He will stand on the dust at last.

But they both lie in the dust,
and worms cover them.

and consign your gold to the dust,
the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,

Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—

He throws me into the mud,
and I have become like dust and ashes.

every living thing would perish together
and mankind would return to the dust.

when the dust hardens like cast metal
and the clods of dirt stick together?

Hide them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave.

Therefore I take back my words
and repent in dust and ashes.
