And he took himself a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
To set up on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be lifted to safety.
Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes their families like a flock.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.
Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
