'Life' in the Bible

Flight will perish from [the] swift and [the] strong person will not muster his strength and [the] warrior will not save his life.

And [the] one who takes hold of the bow will not stand and [the one who is] swift on his feet will not save himself, nor will [the] one who rides the horse save his life.

[These are] those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, 'By the life of your gods, O Dan,' and 'By the life of the way of Beersheba,' they will fall and they will not rise again."
