9 Human beings are all like a puff of breath; great and small alike are worthless. Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing; they are lighter than a mere breath.
9
Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

11 More than once I have heard God say that power belongs to him
11
One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,
12 and that his love is constant. You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to their deeds.
12
and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
