'Man' in the Bible

The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.

The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.

He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.

A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.

A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man.

Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.

And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might,

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:

For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.

I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

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

A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring,'so is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and'suffer for it.

Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion.

A needy man that oppresseth the poor Is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.

A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.

To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.

When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.

A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.

In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.

The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.

Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment cometh from Jehovah.

An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:

Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;

The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.

What profit hath man of all his labor wherein he laboreth under the sun?

All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been done long ago.

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.

Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?

Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?

Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God.

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?

Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

For who knoweth what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him.

All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.
