¹⁹ how much more those who dwell in houses of ^(A)clay,
    whose foundation is in ^(B)the dust,
    who are crushed like^{[a] (C)}the moth.

⁹ Remember that you have made me like ^(A)clay;
    and will you return me to the ^(B)dust?

⁶ Behold, I am toward God as you are;
    I too was pinched off from a piece of ^(A)clay.

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face
    you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
    for out of it you were taken;
^(A)for you are dust,
    and ^(B)to dust you shall return.”

¹¹ When you discipline a man
    with ^(A)rebukes for sin,
you ^(B)consume like a ^(C)moth what is dear to him;
    ^(D)surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

²⁸ Man^[a] wastes away like ^(A)a rotten thing,
    like a garment that is ^(B)moth-eaten.

¹² Your maxims are proverbs of ^(A)ashes;
    your defenses are defenses of clay.
