9 Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.
And Jehovah God formeth the man -- dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou `art', and unto dust thou turnest back.'
And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.
As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So `are' ye in My hand, O house of Israel.
To corruption I have called: -- `Thou `art' my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' -- to the worm.
Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
Remember, I pray Thee, what `is' life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
Wo `to' him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, `What dost thou?' And thy work, `He hath no hands?'
