⁹ Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.

⁹ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.

³ Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

¹⁰ Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart `thereon'.

² Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

²² Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
