"Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?"

Consider the following from a REAL Bible:

"Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother, for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer" (Jeremiah 9:4).

"Thus says the LORD: 'Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD'" (Jeremiah 17:5).

"Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend;
guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms" (Micah 7:5).

LOL, I knew you would give me a hard time about that....and just to be contentious...here is another version:

Isaiah 2:22 (The Message)

22Quit scraping and fawning over mere humans,
so full of themselves, so full of hot air!
Can't you see there's nothing to them?
