9 Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.
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.
10 Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.
11
One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,
12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
12
and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
