Human beings are all like a puff of breath; great and small alike are worthless. Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing; they are lighter than a mere breath.

Don't put your trust in violence; don't hope to gain anything by robbery; even if your riches increase, don't depend on them.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on human leaders.

Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you.

Have you been caught by your own words, trapped by your own promises?

Put no more confidence in mortals. What are they worth?
