Daniel 6:9

{So} the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.

[It is] better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust princes.

Do not place trust in princes, in a son of humankind with whom there is no deliverance.

Only a vapor [are] men of low degree, a deception [are] men of high degree. {Weighed} in a balance, together they [are lighter] than a vapor.

[if] you are snared by the sayings of your mouth, [if] you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,

Turn away from humanity, who [has] breath in its nostrils, for by what [is] it esteemed?

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Only a vapor [are] men of low degree, a deception [are] men of high degree. {Weighed} in a balance, together they [are lighter] than a vapor.

[It is] better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust princes.

Do not place trust in princes, in a son of humankind with whom there is no deliverance.

[if] you are snared by the sayings of your mouth, [if] you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,

Turn away from humanity, who [has] breath in its nostrils, for by what [is] it esteemed?
