“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life.
-
The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”
-
“Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,
-
Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
-
that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!
-
Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.
-
I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
-
Surely its life withers away, and from the soil other plants grow.
-
“Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
-
“I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.
-
You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
-
Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
-
In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
-
Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
-
Why do I put myself in jeopardy and take my life in my hands?
-
But God drags away the mighty by his power; though they become established, they have no assurance of life.
-
“As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,
-
as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,
-
For what hope have the godless when they are cut off, when God takes away their life?
-
“And now my life ebbs away; days of suffering grip me.
-
I have not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against their life—
-
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
-
They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.
-
God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’
-
to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.
