Psalm 144:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 Lord, (A)what is man, that You look after him?
Or a son of man, that You think of him?
4 (B)Man is like the breath;
His (C)days are like a passing shadow.
Psalm 8:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?
5 Yet You have made him a (B)little lower than [a]God,
And (C)You crown him with (D)glory and majesty!
6 You have him (E)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have (F)put everything under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Hebrews 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 But someone has testified (A)somewhere, saying,
“(B)What is man, that You think of him?
Or a son of man, that You are concerned about him?
7 (C)You have made him [a]for a little while lower than angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor[b];
8 (D)You have put everything in subjection under his feet.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (E)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Job 15:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 What is man, that (A)he would be pure,
Or (B)he who is born of a woman, that he would be righteous?
15 Behold, He has no trust in His (C)holy ones,
And the (D)heavens are not pure in His sight;
16 How much less one who is (E)detestable and corrupt:
A person who (F)drinks [a]malice like water!
