Job 35:11

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

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

He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”

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

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

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.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

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.”

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God’s likeness.

Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

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.

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

All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

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

For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

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.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

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

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

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

Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.

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?

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

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

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

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

See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

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?”

“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

For there are three who testify:

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

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

Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?

The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Yahweh, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, under his shadow we will live among the nations.

He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”

Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

Who has directed Yahweh’s Spirit, or has taught him as his counselor?

“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”

When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

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.

“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?

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

Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your statutes.

For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;

For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.

But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
