Verse Takeaways
1
Trust God, Not People
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a command to stop placing ultimate trust in human beings. Whether it's political leaders, religious figures, or powerful nations, the verse warns against relying on them for security. As Matthew Henry puts it, "do not let any human be your fear, nor let any human be your hope; but let your hope be in the Lord your God." True security is found in God alone.
