'Man' in the Bible

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.

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