Then the Lord said, “My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years.”

“If any turn to mediums or spiritualists, prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them and will cut them off from the people.

But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his spirit on them!”

But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me wholeheartedly, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.

The spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his word is upon my tongue.

As soon as I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will carry you I know not where; so, when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have revered the Lord from my youth.

I myself will put a spirit in him so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”

A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh bristled.

For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.

Job Prays for Relief

“My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the grave is ready for me.

I hear censure that insults me, and a spirit beyond my understanding answers me.

as long as my breath is in me and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

I think of God, and I moan; I meditate, and my spirit faints. Selah

I commune with my heart in the night; I meditate and search my spirit:

When my spirit is faint, you know my way. In the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me.

Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.

Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.

My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

I myself will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”]]

O Lord, by these things people live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh, restore me to health and make me live!
