14 If he should set his heart to it

and gather to himself his spirit and his breath,

15 all flesh would perish together,

and man would return to dust.

14 If he set his heart upon man,

If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

15 All flesh shall perish together,

And man shall turn again unto dust.

14 If God were to take back his spirit

and withdraw his breath,

15 all life would cease,

and humanity would turn again to dust.

14 If He should set His heart on it,

If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

15 All flesh would perish together,

And man would return to dust.

14 If God should decide

to take away life and breath,

15 then everyone would die together

and turn back into dust.

14 If he set his heart upon himself,

If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

15 All flesh shall perish together,

And man shall turn again unto dust.

14 If he only thought of himself, and gathered unto him his spirit and his breath, 15 All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.

14 If he thought only of himself 

and withdrew his Spirit and his breath, 

15 all living beings would die together, 

and humanity would return to dust. 

14 If He put His mind to it

and withdrew the spirit and breath He gave,

15 every living thing would perish together

and mankind would return to the dust.

14 If he should take back his spirit to himself,

and gather to himself his breath,

15 all flesh would perish together,

and all mortals return to dust.

14 If he should set his heart to it,

and he should gather his spirit and his breath to himself,

15 all flesh would perish together,

and humankind would return to dust.

14 If he really wanted to,

he could hold back his spirit and breath.

15 Then everyone would die together.

They would return to the dust.

14 “If He should determine to do so,

If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,

15 All flesh would perish together,

And man would return to dust.
