And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.
Clothed hath been my flesh `with' worms, And a clod of dust, My skin hath been shrivelled and is loathsome, My days swifter than a weaving machine, And they are consumed without hope. Remember Thou that my life `is' a breath, Mine eye turneth not back to see good.
