'Clay' in the Bible

‘How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,Whose foundation is in the dust,Who are crushed before the moth!

‘Remember now, that You have made me as clay;And would You turn me into dust again?

“Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,Your defenses are defenses of clay.

“Though he piles up silver like dustAnd prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,

“Behold, I belong to God like you;I too have been formed out of the clay.

“It is changed like clay under the seal;And they stand forth like a garment.
