Job 18:4
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?”
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.

עָזַב
To leave, to forsake, to abandon. Azab. I have not forsaken you. God will never abandon those who belong to Him. His commitment is unconditional.
