'Living' in the Bible

“You will laugh at violence and famine,And you will not be afraid of the wild beasts of the earth.

In whose hand is the life of every living thing,And the breath of all mankind?

“You prevail forever against him and overpower him, and he passes on;You change his appearance and send him away [from the presence of the living].

“Let him not trust in vanity (emptiness, futility) and be led astray;For emptiness will be his reward [for such living].

“I was [living] at ease, but He crushed me and broke me apart,And He has seized me by the neck and has shaken me to pieces;He has also set me up as His target.

“Man does not know the value of it;Nor is it found in the land of the living.

“It is hidden from the eyes of all the livingAnd concealed from the birds of the heavens.

“For I know that You will bring me to deathAnd to the house of meeting [appointed] for all the living.

To bring his life back from the pit [of destruction],That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
