Trusting Man

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes mere flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.

He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

He who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.

Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

“Let everyone guard against his neighbor; do not trust any brother, for every brother deals craftily, and every friend spreads slander.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

…in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
