Psalms 62:9
62:9 Men are nothing but a mere breath;
human beings are unreliable.
When they are weighed in the scales,
all of them together are lighter than air.
Luke 16:5-8
16:5 So
he contacted
his master’s debtors one by one. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
16:6 The man
replied, ‘A hundred measures
of olive oil.’ The manager
said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
16:7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ The second man
replied, ‘A hundred measures
of wheat.’ The manager
said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
16:8 The
master commended the dishonest
manager because he acted shrewdly.
For the people
of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their contemporaries
than the people
of light.
