'Man' in the Bible

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."

Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.

but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

"Isn't a man forced to labor on earth? Aren't his days like the days of a hired hand?

What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,

So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man shall perish,

"Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

"Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.

Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?

"Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.

I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.

Behold, he breaks down, and it can't be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?

This also shall be my salvation, that a godless man shall not come before him.

"Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

so man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come.

The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.

"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

"Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?

What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.

Don't you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God."

As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn't I be impatient?

that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!"

"This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

Man doesn't know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.

To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"

But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;'

Please don't let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

"Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.

For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

"If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him;

He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.

"Behold, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,

What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.'

For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

"For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.

For he doesn't need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,

that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.

Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:

Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

All men have looked thereon. Man sees it afar off.

Which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.

He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.

Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!

To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man;

"Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
