|---|---|---|
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
|
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
|
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
