A fragment of pottery, to which man is compared when he strives with his Maker. Isa. 45: 9. David quotes the word in the Psalm prophetical of the Lord's sacrificial sufferings, "My strength is dried up like a potsherd." Ps. 22: 15. It is employed literally in Job 2: 8; Prov. 26: 23, and translated 'sherd' in Isa. 30: 14; Ezek. 23: 34.
