Broken pieces of earthenware, Job 2:8 Isaiah 30:14 , fit types of the worthlessness and fragility of man, Psalm 22:15 Proverbs 26:23 Isaiah 45:9 . The ruins of many of the most ancient cities in the world show little but such fragments of pottery covering the ground; it is usually coarse in grain, but well glazed. Such fragments are used by the poor in various ways, if not utterly broken in to bits, Isaiah 30:14 . At this day it is common to find pieces of broken jars at eastern wells and pools, to drink from and to see hot embers and coals carried in them from one spot to another.
