Know that the LORD, 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 praise You, for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And [that] my soul knows 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 LORD, You [are] our Father; We [are] the clay, and You our potter; And all we [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 were taken; For dust you [are,] And to dust you shall return."

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

How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, [Who] are crushed before a moth?

Truly I [am] as your spokesman before 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 from the dust, and all return to dust.

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

But now, O LORD, You [are] our Father; We [are] the clay, and You our potter; And all we [are] the work of Your hand.

But indeed, 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] of the earth, [made] of dust; the second Man [is] the Lord from heaven.

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

For we know that if our earthly house, [this] tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

As long as my breath [is] in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils,

The Spirit of 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 worshiped 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 the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

Sever yourselves from such a man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils; For of what account is he?

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

"Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

The spirit of a man [is] the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.

The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretches out the heavens, 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 being." The last Adam [became] 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?
