Daniel 6:9

So King Darius issued the written interdict.

It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in princes.

Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver!

Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.

if you have been ensnared by the words you have uttered, and have been caught by the words you have spoken,

Stop trusting in human beings, whose life's breath is in their nostrils. For why should they be given special consideration?
