About this illustration

Rock, tottering wall, balances, and riches turn the wisdom exhortation into one restrained symbolic scene.

Scripture basis: Psalms 62:1–12
  1. 1To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
  2. 2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
  3. 3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
  4. 4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
  5. 5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
  6. 6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
  7. 7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
  8. 8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
  9. 9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
  10. 10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
  11. 11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
  12. 12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
