9 O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?
And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.
O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.
If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;
My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;
Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?
