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

But a strong man dies and is laid away; indeed man expires and where is he?

My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, the grave is ready for me.

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

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.

You return man to dust, and say, Return, O sons of men.

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.

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

His sons come to honor, and he does not recognize them; they are diminished, and he does not perceive it.

My days have past, my plans have been torn apart, even the thoughts of my heart.

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

The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was captured in their pits; of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
