Iron is taken from the ground, ¹  and rock is poured out ²  as copper.

a place whose stones are sapphires ¹  and which contains dust of gold; ² 

so that they had to live ¹  in the dry stream beds, ²  in the holes of the ground, and among the rocks.

He has flung me into the mud, and I have come to resemble dust and ashes.

when the dust hardens ¹  into a mass, and the clumps of earth stick together?

Although its roots may grow old ¹  in the ground and its stump begins to die ²  in the soil, ³ 

I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, ¹  and buried ²  my horn ³  in the dust;
