Cursed

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 man.

Do not trust in princes,

In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

For

why should he be esteemed?

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
And

make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,

In order to add sin to sin;

Behold, you rely on the staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

“Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been only a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

Flesh

With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Now the Egyptians are men and not God,
And their horses are flesh and not spirit;
So the Lord will stretch out His hand,
And he who helps will stumble
And he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will come to an end together.

Whose

For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

Yes, truth is lacking;
And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.

Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have

been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
