'Life' in the Bible

And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.

And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Lo, he is in thy hand; only his life take care of.'

Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul?

What is my power that I should hope? And what mine end That I should prolong my life?

Remember Thou that my life is a breath, Mine eye turneth not back to see good.

Perfect I am! -- I know not my soul, I despise my life.

My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit.

And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.

Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.

If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of its possessors, I have caused to breathe out,

He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.

And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.

He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'

Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.
