⁹ The least of people are only a ·breath [vapor; bubble; vanity],
    and even the greatest are just a ·lie [delusion].
On the scales, they ·weigh nothing [^Lgo up];
    together they are only a ·breath [vapor; bubble; vanity].
¹⁰ Do not ·trust [have confidence] in ·force [oppression; extortion].
    Stealing is ·of no use [meaningless].
Even if you gain more riches,
    don’t ·put your trust in [^Lset your heart on] them.

¹¹ God has said this once,
    and I have heard it ·over and over [^Ltwice]:
    God is strong.
