There was an incident involving one of the prominent residents of Jerusalem, who said to his lad: ‘Go and bring me water.’ He was waiting for him on the rooftop. [The lad] came and said to him: ‘I did not find water.’ He said to him: ‘Cast your jug before me.’ He cast the jug before him, and he cast himself from the rooftop and died. His limbs intermingled with the shards of earthenware. In that regard it says: “How are they considered earthenware jugs…?”
