'Man' in the Bible

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil.

His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?

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

For vexation killeth the foolish man, And jealousy slayeth the silly one.

But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?

What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, And that thou shouldest set thy mind upon him,

So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:

Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.

Of a truth 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.

Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth?

Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days,

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass's colt.

I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

They grope in the dark without light; And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

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

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

Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.

But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.

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

The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

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

How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!

The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;

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

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

Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,

All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown by man'shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

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

As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not 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 unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

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

How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!

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

Man'setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.

For God speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;

If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;

He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.

Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man,

What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

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

All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.

For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.

For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.

When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:

That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.

Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.

All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.

Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly.

He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it .

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

Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

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

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
