And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
