Job 27:3

New American Bible - revised edition

So long as I still have life breath in me, the breath of God in my nostrils,

See the chapter Copy

then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

In his hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life breath of all mortal flesh.

But there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.

For the spirit of God made me, the breath of the Almighty keeps me alive.

As for you, stop worrying about mortals, in whose nostrils is but a breath; for of what worth are they?

nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
