neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

The breath

(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

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

I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

Mankind

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
