Man from the ground.
Genesis 2.7: 7 Then Yahweh God formed man [אָדָ֗ם, adam] of dust from the ground [אֲדָמָ֔ה, adamah], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Lift up your head.
Genesis 40.12-13: 12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 13 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head [יִשָּׂ֤א פַרְעֹה֙ אֶת־רֹאשֶׁ֔ךָ] and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer."
Genesis 40.18-19: 18 Then Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 19 within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head [יִשָּׂ֙א פַרְעֹ֤ה אֶת־רֹֽאשְׁךָ] from you and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh off you."

Pretty grim humor, if you ask me. This one depends on the phrase "lift up your head" being a Hebrew idiom for setting someone in a place of honor.
Heavy honor.
1 Samuel 2.27-31: 27 Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house? 28 And did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel? 29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?' 30 Therefore Yahweh God of Israel declares, 'I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever'; but now Yahweh declares, 'Far be it from Me — for those who honor Me I will honor [אֲכַבֵּ֖ד, from kabed], and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.'"
1 Samuel 4.18-21: 18 And it came about when he mentioned the ark of God that Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy [כָבֵ֑ד, kabed]. Thus he judged Israel forty years. 19 Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention. 21 And she called the boy Ichabod [אִֽי־כָבוֹד, ikabod = no honor], saying, "The glory has departed from Israel," because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

This one is pretty ingenious. Heaviness and honor derive from the same root in Hebrew. Eli, who along with his sons has been dishonoring God by fattening himself on the choicest parts of the sacrifices, has become heavy, and eventually breaks his neck from it. His daughter-in-law then names her newborn son Ichabod, which means "the honor/glory is no more."
Watching almonds.
Jeremiah 1.11-12: 11 And the word of Yahweh came to me saying, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "I see a rod of an almond tree [שָׁקֵ֖ד, shaqed]." Then Yahweh said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching [שֹׁקֵ֥ד, shaqad] over My word to perform it."
