The Israelites Confess Their Sins
On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the Israelites gathered together, fasting and wearing sackcloth and putting dust on their heads.
-
When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.
-
how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!
-
Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.”
-
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
-
“I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust.
-
Will it go down to the gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”
-
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie with him in the dust.
-
Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both.
-
and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
-
Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay,
-
lapis lazuli comes from its rocks, and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
-
He throws me into the mud, and I am reduced to dust and ashes.
-
all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
-
when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?
-
Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.
-
Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
-
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
-
I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
-
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
-
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive.
-
“What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
-
We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.
-
May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.
-
He rained meat down on them like dust, birds like sand on the seashore.
