Then did I beat them in pieces, like dust on the face of the wind. Like the mire in the lanes, did I scatter them.

Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me.

All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!

Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;

[DALETH] My soul, cleaveth to the dust, Give me life, according to thy word.
