אֶרֶץ

Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.

His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
