22 Stop trusting other people to save you. Do not think too highly of them; they are only humans who have not stopped breathing yet.

Hi perhaps it is a case of translation as to knowing what the passage is saying. Here is what the passage says in a modern translation. We know that people are inclined to be only humans with no distinction one from another, so the passage asks why we should listen to simply minded people especially when they show this. We know people try to control each other and follow you just for this purpose.
Ecclesiastes 8:9-10
Easy-to-Read Version
9 I saw all this. I thought very hard about the things that happen in this world. I saw that people always struggle for the power to rule others, and this is bad for them.
10 I also saw great and beautiful funerals for evil people. While the people were going home after the funeral services, they said good things about the evil people who had died. This happened even in the same towns where the evil people had done many bad things. This is senseless.
