'Mire' in the Bible

Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass 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 have become like dust and ashes.

His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
