Therefore King Darius signed the document and injunction.
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?
if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,
Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
