"Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, Your bodies to bodies of clay.
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes [valueless]; your defenses are defenses of clay [and will crumble].
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.
Your old sayings are proverbs made of ashes, your sayings defenses made of clay.
Your remembrance will be compared to ashes, and your necks will be reduced to clay.
