'Clings' in the Bible

“My bone clings to my skin and my flesh,And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

If I have stepped away from the way, or if my heart covets whatever my eyes see, or if some other blemish clings to my hands,

For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our {body} clings to the ground.

My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me.

My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word.

Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to Me”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“so that they might be My people for My fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.

ד DaletThe nursing infant’s tongueclings to the roof of his mouth from thirst.Little children beg for bread,but no one gives them any.

Now their faces are blacker than coal; they are unrecognized in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones; it has become dry like a stick.
