'People' in the Bible

Then his livestock came to be seven thousand sheep and goats and three thousand camels and five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred female donkeys, and he had very many slaves, and that man was greater than all the people of the east.

And behold, a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house {so that} it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, [even] I alone, to tell you."

Should your loose talk put people to silence? {And when you mock, shall no one put you to shame}?

"Truly indeed you [are the] people, and wisdom will die with you.

He strips [away] the insight of the heads of the earth's people, and he makes them wander in {a pathless wasteland}.

"And he has made me a proverb for [the] peoples, {and I am one before whom people spit}.

[There is] no offspring for him nor a descendant among his people, and there is not a survivor in his abode.

Will you keep [to the] way of old that [the] people of mischief have trod,

From [the] city people groan, and [the] throat of [the] wounded cries for help; yet God does not {regard it as unseemly}.

He breaks open a mine shaft {away from where people dwell}; [those] who are forgotten {by travelers}, they dangle, they sway [far away] from human beings.

They were driven out from fellow people; they shout at them as [at] a thief,

{Have the people of my tent not said}, '{O that} someone had not been satisfied with his meat'?

"Therefore, listen to me, {people who have sense}: far be it from God {that he should commit wickedness} and that Shaddai {should do wrong}.

[In] a moment they die, and [in] the middle of [the] night [the] people are shaken, and they pass away, and they take away [the] mighty {effortlessly}.

so that godless human beings should not reign, nor those who ensnare [the] people.

You must not long for the night, to cut off people {in their place}.

Remember that you should extol his work, [of] which people have sung.

Indeed, he judges people by them; he gives food {in abundance}.

Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any {who think that they are wise}."
