What is "lezom"? Is it "man"?
Lèzòm or Lòm → mankind, man, people, humanity
Kisa ki ka sove lèzòm?
What can save mankind?
Lèzòm planifye men Bondye deside.
Man plans but God decides.
Pa mete konfyans ou nan lòm.
Do not put your faith in man.
Li fè sa pou tout lèzòm.
He did it for all mankind.
"Lòm pa ka viv ak pen sèlman..."
"Man cannot live by bread alone..."
