Job 12:10

²⁸‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

⁴The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

²⁵He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

²²They fell on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?”

³(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

²³but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

³Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help. ⁴His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

²⁹You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

¹⁴If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath, ¹⁵all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
