Is

"Is it to God that a strong man is of benefit? Is it to him that even a wise man is profitable?

If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?

I say to the Lord, "You are the Lord, my only source of well-being."

I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices, or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.

So," the Lord God says, "my raging fury will be poured out on this land. It will be poured out on human beings and animals, on trees and crops. And it will burn like a fire which cannot be extinguished."

"I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!

Go and learn what this saying means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Seeing

For in him we live and move about and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'

yet he did not leave himself without a witness by doing good, by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying you with food and your hearts with joy."

The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Then they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground and said, "O God, the God of the spirits of all people, will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?"

"Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,

in whose hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all the human race.

for while my spirit is still in me, and the breath from God is in my nostrils,

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

If God were to set his heart on it, and gather in his spirit and his breath,

All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.

This is what the true God, the Lord, says -- the one who created the sky and stretched it out, the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, the one who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live on it:

For I will not be hostile forever or perpetually angry, for then man's spirit would grow faint before me, the life-giving breath I created.

The revelation of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: The Lord -- he who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth, who forms the human spirit within a person -- says,

so that you may be like your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Or who has first given to God, that God needs to repay him?

Command those who are rich in this world's goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.
