'Mire' in the Bible

Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.

He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.

Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
