9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as clay, and wilt bring me into dust again.
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.
House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel.
I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.
Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?
Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?
