'Pottery' in the Bible

And Job took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself, and he sat [down] among the ashes (rubbish heaps).

“His underparts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery;He moves across and spreads out [grooves] like a threshing sledge on the mire (muddy river banks).

My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery;And my [dry] tongue clings to my jaws;And You have laid me in the dust of death.

“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who quarrels with his Maker—A [worthless] piece of broken pottery among other broken pieces [equally worthless]!Shall the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’Or does the thing say, ‘He has no hands’?

Israel is [as if] swallowed up [by enemies];They are now among the nationsLike a vessel [of cheap, coarse pottery] that is useless.
