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?

But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is.

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

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

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

If He should set His heart on it, if He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.

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

And behold I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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