    than to trust in people.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
    than to trust in princes.

2 Chronicles 32:7-8  
"Be strong and courageous! Don't be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is power far greater on our side! He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!" Hezekiah's words greatly encouraged the people.  (see all 2 Chronicles 32)
Isaiah 57:13  
"Let's see if your idols can save you
    when you cry to them for help.
Why, a puff of wind can knock them down!

But whoever trusts in me will inherit the land
    and possess my holy mountain."  (see all Isaiah 57)
