- 8:4 Hebrew what is man that you should think of him, / the son of man that you should care for him?
Psalm 144:3
New Living Translation
3 O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them,
mere mortals that you should think about them?
Job 7:17
New Living Translation
17 “What are people, that you should make so much of us,
that you should think of us so often?
Hebrews 2:6-9
New Living Translation
6 For in one place the Scriptures say,
“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
or a son of man[a] that you should care for him?
7 Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.[b]
8 You gave them authority over all things.”[c]
Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. 9 What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.
