The Lord says,“ Those who trust in human beings are under my curse. They depend on human strength. Their hearts turn away from me.

Don’t put your trust in human leaders. Don’t trust in people who can’t save you.

Lord, what are human beings that you take care of them? What are mere people that you think about them?Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath. Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

You don’t even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist that appears for a little while. Then it disappears.

What are human beings that you think about them? What is a son of man that you take care of him?

As long as I have life and God gives me breath,

Then the Lord God formed a man. He made him out of the dust of the ground. God breathed the breath of life into him. And the man became a living person.

So I would rather choke to death. That would be better than living in this body of mine.I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.“ What are human beings that you think so much of them? What are they that you pay so much attention to them?You check up on them every morning. You test them every moment.Won’t you ever look away from me? Won’t you leave me alone even for one second?If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you. You see everything we do. Why do you shoot your arrows at me? Have I become a problem to you?Why don’t you forgive the wrong things I’ve done? Why don’t you forgive me for my sins? I’ll soon lie down in the dust of my grave. You will search for me. But I’ll be gone.”

Every breathing thing on dry land died.

The nations are only a drop in a bucket to him. He considers them as nothing but dust on the scales. He weighs the islands as if they were only fine dust.

Surely ordinary people are only a breath. Important people are not what they seem to be. If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything. Together they are only a breath.
