“Many seek the face of a ruler, But Right-Ruling fo man comes from יהוה”
– Mishley / Proverbs 29:26

My Commentary: BIG FACTS!

‘Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, But we remember the Name of יהוה our Elohim.’
– Tehillim (Psalms) 20:7

‘It is better to take refuge in יהוה Than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in יהוה Than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off. They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; In the Name of יהוה shall I cut them off. They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like burning thorns; In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off.’
– Tehillim (Psalms) 118:8-12

Do not turn to the right or the left; Turn your foot away from evil.’
– Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 4:27
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/PRO.4.27

‘“Woe to those making unrighteous inscriptions, and writers who have prescribed toil, to keep the needy back from right-ruling, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows become their prey, and orphans their plunder. “What shall you do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which comes from afar? To whom would you run for help? And where would you leave your wealth?’
– Yeshayah (Isaiah) 10:1-3
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ISA.10.1-3

‘Woe to those who go down to Mitsrayim for help, and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but who do not look to the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, nor seek יהוה!’
– Yeshayah (Isaiah) 31:1
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ISA.31.1

‘See, nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on the balance. See, He lifts up isles as fine dust.’
– Yeshayah (Isaiah) 40:15
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ISA.40.15

‘All nations before Him are as a non-entity, and they are reckoned by Him as less than a speck, and emptiness.’
– Yeshayah (Isaiah) 40:17
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ISA.40.17

‘Did you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in, who brings princes to naught, shall make the rulers of the earth as emptiness.’
– Yeshayah (Isaiah) 40:21-23
https://www.bible.com/bible/316/ISA.40.21-23

‘“You have destroyed yourself, O Yisra’ĕl, but your help is in Me. “Where is your sovereign now to save you in all your cities, and your rulers of whom you said, ‘Give me a sovereign and rulers’? “I gave you a sovereign in My displeasure, but I took him away in My wrath.’
– Hoshĕa (Hosea) 13:9-11

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “AnarchoChristian“, which I originally posted to my own wall in December of 2022, and decidedly re-shared it, while adding a commentary…

My Commentary: “Woe to them that go down to Mitsrayim for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Yashar’el, neither seek Yahuah!”
– YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 31:1

“Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.”
– YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 40:15

“All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.”
– YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 40:17

“Have ye not known? have ye not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that establishes the circuit of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as locusts; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tabernacle to dwell in: That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity.”
– YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 40:21-23

“O Yashar’el, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help. I will be your King: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, “Give me a king and princes?” I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.”
– Husha (Hosea) 13:9-11

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his Mashiach, saying, “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.” He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: Adonai shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Tsiyon. I will declare the decree: YHWH has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you. Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.”
– Tehilliym (Psalms) 2:1-12

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of Yahuah Elohaynu.”
– Tehilliym (Psalms) 20:7

“It is better to trust in YHWH than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in YHWH than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the Name of YHWH will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the Name of YHWH I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the Name of YHWH I will destroy them.”
– Tehilliym (Psalms) 118:8-12

“Turn not to the right nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.”
– Mishlei (Proverbs) 4:27

“Many seek the face of a ruler; but from YHWH comes justice for man”
– Mishlei (Proverbs) 29:26

“As for the other nations, which also come of A’dam, you have said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and have likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falls from a vessel.”
– Ezra Reviy`iy (4 Ezra) 6:56
