'Man' in the Bible

All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

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

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn't sin.

For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
