or a tottering stone fence? f

▼men: Literally sons of man or sons of Adam
Men are only a vapor;exalted men, an illusion.
Weighed in the scales, they go up;
together they are less than a vapor. p
10 Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it. ▼
▼Lit increases, do not set heart

r 11 God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God, s
12 and faithful love belongs to You, Lord.
For You repay each according to his works. t
