²⁸ When you give it to them, they take it.
You open your hand to feed them,
    and they have plenty of good things.
²⁹ When you turn away from them,
    they become very afraid.
When you take away their breath,
    they die and they return to the dust.
³⁰ But when you breathe into anything,
    it receives life.
In that way, you bring new life to the earth.
