The pride of mankind will be brought low, and human loftiness will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

God is not partial to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.They die suddenly in the middle of the night; people shudder, then pass away. Even the mighty are removed without effort.

The pride of mankind will be humbled, and human loftiness will be brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

You will look for those who contend with you, but you will not find them. Those who war against you will become absolutely nothing.

“ In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.You saw a stone break off from the mountain without a hand touching it, and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold.
