- "Put not¹ your trustª° in princes,ª [nor] in the sonª of man,ª in whom [there is] no¹¹ help.ª ... Which madeª° heaven,ª and earth,ª¹ the sea,ª and all¹ that¹ therein [is]: which keepethª° truthª for ever:ª" {Psa 146:3-6} + "Woeª to them that go downª° to Egyptª for help;ª and stayª° on¹ horses,ª and trustª° in¹ chariots,ª because¹ [they are] many;ª and in¹ horsemen,ª because¹ they are very² strong;ª°¹ but they lookª° not¹ unto¹ the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª neither¹ seekª° the LORD!ª" {Isa 31:1} + "And a manª shall be¹ as an hiding placeª from the wind,ª and a covertª from the tempest;ª as riversª of waterª in a dry place,ª as the shadowª of a greatª rockª in a wearyª land.ª" {Isa 32:2} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Cursedª° [be] the manª that¹ trustethª° in man,ª and makethª° fleshª his arm,ª and whose heartª departethª° from¹ the LORD.ª ...
