In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
What is man, that thou dost make so much of him, and that thou dost set thy mind upon him,
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—
When thou hidest thy face, they are dismayed; when thou takest away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, “Turn back, O children of men!”
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
They will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit; they will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished.
