Wisdom 15:10
Their hearts are nothing but rust. Their hopes are more useless than dirt. Their lives are worth less than the clay they mold.
For his heart is ashes, and his hope vain earth, and his life more base than clay:
His heart is made of ashes. His hope is cheaper than dirt. His life is not worth as much as his clay,
Ashes his heart is! more worthless than earth is his hope, more ignoble than clay his life;
His heart is ashes, his hopes of less value than common dirt, and his life less worthy than clay,
Their heart is ashes, their hope is cheaper than dirt, and their lives are of less worth than clay,
Their heart is ashes, their hope is cheaper than dirt, and their lives are of less worth than clay,
Their heart is ashes, their hope is cheaper than dirt, and their lives are of less worth than clay,
Their heart is ashes, their hope is cheaper than dirt, and their lives are of less worth than clay,
His heart is ashes, his hope is cheaper than dirt, and his life is of less worth than clay,
His heart is ashes, his hope is cheaper than dirt, and his life is of less worth than clay,
For the heart of him is ashes, and superfluous earth is his hope, and his life is viler [or fouler] than clay.
