Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set [your] heart [on them.]

[It is] better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.

Do not put your trust in princes, [Nor] in a son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.

Sever yourselves from such a man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils; For of what account is he?
