'Man' in the Bible

I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.

So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause.

Have you knowledge of this from early times, when man was placed on the earth,

All his wealth is stored up for the dark: a fire not made by man sends destruction on him, and on everything in his tent.

This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.

As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?

You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it!

How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?

Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.

For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.

He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours.

There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.

And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about;

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!

Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.

Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.

Man puts out his hand on the hard rock, overturning mountains by the roots.

Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.

And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.

Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.

But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.

Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.

Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.

For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.

Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.

For God gives his word in one way, even in two, and man is not conscious of it:

In order that man may be turned from his evil works, and that pride may be taken away from him;

If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him;

Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,

For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.

For he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways.

All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.

For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.

All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.

He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

Get your strength together like a man of war; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

Causing rain to come on a land where no man is living, on the waste land which has no people;

Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.

For you, Lord, will send a blessing on the upright man; your grace will be round him, and you will be his strength.

If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.

What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?

Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.

He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.

You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.

To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.

If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.

But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.

You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;

(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)

But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased;

Man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.
