- "Surely¹ men²² of low degree¹¹ [are] vanity,ª [and] men² of high degree¹¹ [are] a lie:ª to be laidª° in the balance,ª they¹ [are] altogetherª [lighter] than vanity.ª¹" {Psa 62:9} + "[It is] betterª to trustª° in the LORDª than to put confidenceª°¹ in man.ª ... [It is] betterª to trustª° in the LORDª than to put confidenceª°¹ in princes.ª" {Psa 118:8-9} + "Put not¹ your trustª° in princes,ª [nor] in the sonª of man,ª in whom [there is] no¹¹ help.ª ... His breathª goeth forth,ª° he returnethª° to his earth;ª in that very¹ dayª his thoughtsª perish.ª°" {Psa 146:3-4} + "Ceaseª° ye from¹ man,ª whose¹ breathª [is] in his nostrils:ª for¹ wherein¹ is he¹ to be accounted¹ of?²°" {Isa 2:22} + "Woeª to the rebelliousª° children,ª saithª° the LORD,ª that takeª° counsel,ª but not¹ of¹ me; and that coverª° with a covering,ª but not¹ of my spirit,ª that¹ they may addª° sinª to¹ sin:ª ... For the Egyptiansª shall helpª° in vain,ª and to no purpose:ª therefore¹ have I criedª° concerning this,ª Their² strengthª [is] to sit still.ª" {Isa 30:1-7} + "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 ... And he shall pass overª° to his strong holdª for fear,ª¹ and his princesª shall be afraidª° of the ensign,ª¹ saithª° the LORD,ª whose¹ fireª [is] in Zion,ª and his furnaceª in Jerusalem.ª" {Isa 31:1-9} + "Lo,¹ thou trustestª° in¹ the staffª of this¹ brokenª° reed,ª on¹ Egypt;ª whereon¹¹ if a manª lean,ª° it will goª° into his hand,ª and pierceª° it: so¹ [is] Pharaohª kingª of Egyptª to all¹ that trustª° in¹ him." {Isa 36:6} + "And all¹ the inhabitantsª° of Egyptª shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD,ª because¹ they have been¹ a staffª of reedª to the houseª of Israel.ª ... When they took holdª° of thee by thy hand,ª thou didst break,ª° and rendª° all¹ their shoulder:ª and when they leanedª° upon¹ thee, thou brakest,ª° and madest all¹ their loinsª to be at a stand.ª°" {Ezk 29:6-7}
