Psalms 78:39 (King James Version)
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
- For he
- 103:14-16 Genesis 6:3 ; John 3:6
- a wind
- Or, as the Hebrew {rooch holaich welo yashoov} may be rendered, "the spirit goeth away and returneth not again." To this purpose the Arabic, "He remembered that they were flesh; and a spirit which when it departs, returneth not again." The human being is composed of flesh and spirit, or body and soul: these are easily separated, and when separated, the body turns to dust, and the spirit returns no more to animate the body in a state of probation.
- Job 7:7 Job 7:16 ; James 4:14
