Habakkuk 2:10
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.”
נֶפֶשׁ
Life, soul, living being. Nephesh. The animating breath God places in every living creature. In animals it is the life force. In humanity it is the seat of emotion, will and identity. Every nephesh belongs to God — from the creatures in the sea to the deepest cry of the human heart.
