In Jeremiah: |Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the strong man glory in his strength, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understands and knows that I am the Lord, who do mercy, and judgment, and righteousness upon the earth, because in them is my pleasure, saith the Lord.| Of the same thing in the fifty-fourth Psalm: |In the Lord have I hoped; I will not fear what man can do unto me.| Also in the same place: |To none but God alone is my soul subjected.| Also in the cxviith Psalm: |I will not fear what man can do unto me; the Lord is my helper.| Also in the same place: |It is good to trust in the Lord rather than to trust in man; it is good to hope in the Lord rather than to hope in princes.| Of this same thing in Daniel: |But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, there is no need to answer thee concerning this word. For God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the furnace of burning fire; and He will deliver us from thine hand, O king. And if not, be it known unto thee that we serve not thy gods, and we adore not the golden image which thou hast set up.| Likewise in Jeremiah: |Cursed is the man who hath hope in man; and blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and his hope shall be in God.| Concerning this same thing in Deuteronomy: |Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.| Of this same thing to the Romans: |And they worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator. Wherefore also God gave them up to ignominious passions.| Of this thing also in John: |Greater is He who is in you than he who is in this world.|
