Job 12:10

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;

and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

“Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.

Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”

“Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

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

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

that you must turn away today from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.

For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

“Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.

The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can’t see, hear, or walk.

Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

They 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?”

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

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

Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

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

“Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, against the Holy One of Israel.

A revelation, Yahweh’s word concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

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

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;

You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

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

but 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.

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

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

Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
