To the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;

And man would return to dust.

That he should live on eternally,

All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.

“I descended to the roots of the mountains.
The earth with its bars was around me forever,

"Water encompassed me to the point of death The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head. "I descended to the roots of the mountains The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. "While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
