And His dread fall upon you? | 12 "Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay. | 12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. | 12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay. | 12 Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay. | 12 Your remembrances are similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights. | Job Is Sure He Will Be Vindicated |
