Cursed

Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing.

It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in people.

Do not look to nobles, nor to mere human beings who cannot save.

"Stop trusting in human beings, whose life breath is in their nostrils, for what are they really worth?"

"Oh, you stubborn children," declares the LORD, "who carry out plans but they are not mine, and who make alliances but not by my Spirit, piling sin upon sin.

Take note: you're relying on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces the palm of anyone who leans on it. This is what Pharaoh king of Egypt is like to everybody who depends on him!

"Then everyone living in Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been an unreliable ally to the house of Israel.

Flesh

He only has the strength of his own flesh, but the LORD our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles." So the people were encouraged from what King Hezekiah of Judah told them.

The Egyptians are men, not God, and their horses are physical, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, anyone who assists will stumble, and the one who is helped will fall; and they will all perish together."

Whose

because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and I have not wickedly departed from my God;

Truth is missing, and whoever turns away from evil becomes a prey." "Then the LORD looked, and it displeased him that there was no justice.

When a message from the LORD came to Hosea, the LORD told him, "Go marry a prostitute and have children with her, because the land is prostituting itself by departing from the LORD."

See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God.
