What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’

Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:

Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!

“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?

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

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh.

For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.

A man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?

A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;

A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the revelation: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the middle of the sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.

Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne, and ruling in Judah.”

Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.

Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?

How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don’t break ranks.

When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me something like the appearance of a man.

They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. An arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.
