Daniel 6:9

Therefore King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth,
Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For why should he be esteemed?

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

Do not trust in princes,

In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth,
Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;

For

why should he be esteemed?
