And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation?

And you have exalted yourself against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before you the vessels of His house, and you, your nobles, your mistresses, and your concubines have drunk wine out of them; and you have praised the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

nor by the hands of men is He served, as though He needed anything, for He gives to all life, and breath, with respect to all things.

for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'

verily, while my breath is yet in me, and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

For if He would confine, and restrain His Spirit with Himself;

all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, from where he was formed.

And God formed the man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

[ 6:18] And behold, I shall bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatsoever things are upon the earth shall die.

But when You have turned away Your face, they shall be troubled; You will take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
