'Man' in the Bible

BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;

So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.

Strive not with a man without cause, If he have done thee no harm.

Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.

So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,

For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:

Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And'so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

A fool's vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver him , thou must do it yet again.

There are many devices in a man's heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.

A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.

Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

A man's goings are of Jehovah; How then can man understand his way?

It is a snare to a man rashly to say, It is holy, And after vows to make inquiry.
