我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒，恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。

我必不长久控诉，也不永远怀怒，因为我虽使灵性发昏，我也造了人的气息。

我必不长久控诉，也不永远怀怒，因为我虽使灵性发昏，我也造了人的气息。

我不会永远指责，也不会一直发怒，以免世人——我所造的生灵昏倒。

我必不永远争辩，也不长久发怒，因为这样，人的灵，就是我所造的人，在我面前就要发昏。

我必不永远责备，也不长久发怒，否则人的灵——我所造的生命气息，在我面前就会衰竭。

我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒，恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。

我必不長久控訴，也不永遠懷怒，因為我雖使靈性發昏，我也造了人的氣息。

我必不長久控訴，也不永遠懷怒，因為我雖使靈性發昏，我也造了人的氣息。

我不會永遠指責，也不會一直發怒，以免世人——我所造的生靈昏倒。

我必不永遠爭辯，也不長久發怒，因為這樣，人的靈，就是我所造的人，在我面前就要發昏。

因為我不永遠爭辯，也不長久震怒；因為人的生氣是由我而出，人的氣息是我造的。

我必不永遠責備，也不長久發怒，否則人的靈——我所造的生命氣息，在我面前就會衰竭。

我不常爭辯、不恆忿怒、恐我所造之人困憊、神性疲弊、

我之責人、不恆蓄怒、恐予所造之人、膽喪氣餒、

我必不永遠斥責、不恆久震怒、恐我所造之人、心神困憊、

I will not accuse them forever, nor will I always be angry, for then they would faint away because of me— the very people I have created.

I will not find fault with my people forever. I will not always be angry with them. If I were, I would cause their spirits to grow weak. The people I created would faint away.

For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made.

For I will not fight against you forever; I will not always be angry. If I were, all people would pass away— all the souls I have made.

For I will not accuse you forever, and I will not always be angry; for then the spirit would grow weak before me, even the breath, which I have made.

For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would grow faint before Me, And the breath of those whom I have made.

For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would fail before Me, And the souls which I have made.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.

For I will not accuse you forever, and I will not always be angry; for then the spirit would grow weak before Me, even the breath of man, which I have made.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls[ which] I have made.

For I will not be hostile forever or perpetually angry, for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, the life-giving breath I created.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. (niv)

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? (niv)

Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath.He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return. (niv)

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! (niv)

Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure— not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing. (niv)

He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. (niv)

But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out,“ O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?” (niv)

This is what God the Lord says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: (niv)

Then the Lord said,“ My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” (niv)

But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah:“ As surely as the Lord lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who want to kill you.” (niv)

and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. (niv)

A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: (niv)

If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust. (niv)
