8 aIt is better to take refuge in the Lord
bthan to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the Lord
cthan to trust in princes.

Psalms 146:3-4

3 dPut not your trust in princes,
ein a son of man, in whom there is fno salvation.
4When ghis breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.

Proverbs 25:19

19Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble
is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.

Jeremiah 17:5-6

5 Thus says the Lord:
Cursed is the man hwho trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
Hebrew arm

whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 jHe is like a shrub in the desert,
kand shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in lan uninhabited salt land.
