⁹ Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

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

⁹ It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

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

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

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

¹⁰ Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
