Know that Jehovah, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

I will give thanks unto You, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the One who forms us; and we all are the work of Your hand.

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you have been taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

therefore Jehovah God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

even moreso those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the grass!

Behold, I am as your spokesman before the Mighty God; I also have been formed out of clay.

For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.

a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all return to dust again.

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the One who forms us; and we all are the work of Your hand.

No, rather, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?

The first man was out of the earth, of dust; the second Man is the Lord out of Heaven.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us.

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in Heaven.

as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

The Spirit of the Mighty God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.

Nor is He served with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth?

Leave off from such a man, whose breath is in his nostril; for how is he to be accounted?

And they fell on their faces, and said, O Mighty God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will You be angry with all the congregation?

Let Jehovah the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

The burden of the Word of Jehovah for Israel, says Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.

And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a life- giving Spirit.

Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
