'Man' in the Bible

Lo, in this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.

To turn aside man from doing, And pride from man He concealeth.

If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:

He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.

Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,

Who is a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,

For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.

Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.

For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,

And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, It is the same.

From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;

Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.

For a man like thyself is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.

Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.

Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.

Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.

Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.

To cause it to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.

Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.

Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.

And I am a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

Who is this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.

Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'

But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

And man saith: 'Surely fruit is for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the deliverance of man.

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart are deep.

Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways are in their heart.

Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

I have been reckoned with those going down to the pit, I have been as a man without strength.

Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation,

Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is Jehovah.

He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.

Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.

He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

Good is the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

I said in my haste, 'Every man is a liar.'

Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.

Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Thy precepts,

Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.

A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.

Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

Man to vanity hath been like, His days are as a shadow passing by.

Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.

O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding.

Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done thee evil.

Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of his ways.

And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.

A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth,

Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?

Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?

For jealousy is the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
