So when they lift up their eyes afar off, they knew him not. Then they cried, and wept: then every one of them rent his clothes, and sprinkled dust upon their heads in the air.

My flesh is clothed with worms, filthiness and dust; my skin is withered, and crumpled together;

Why dost thou not forgive my sin? Wherefore takest thou not away my wickedness? Behold, now must I sleep in the dust: And if thou seekest me tomorrow in the morning, I shall be gone."

O remember, I beseech thee, how that thou madest me of the mould of the earth, and shalt bring me into dust again.

Your remembrance shall be like unto the dust, and your pride shall be turned to clay.

I have sewed a sackcloth upon my skin, and lie with my strength in the dust.

All that I have, shall go down into the pit, and lie with me in the dust."

Yea, they shall be even as chaff before the wind, and as dust that the storm carrieth away.

He shall give thee a harvest, which in plenty and abundance shall exceed the dust of the earth, and the gold of Ophir like river stones.

Though he have as much money as the dust of the earth, and raiment as ready as the clay,

I am even as it were clay, and am become like ashes and dust.

Who turneth the clots to dust, and then to be clots again?

For she leaveth her eggs upon the ground, and heateth them in the dust.

Wherefore I give mine own self the blame, and take repentance in the dust and ashes."
