²² Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?

¹ Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the `powers' that be are ordained of God.

⁵² He hath put down princes from `their' thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.

⁷ Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up.

⁸ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, And he hath set the world upon them.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.

¹⁸ O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

³² and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

²⁵ that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

³⁸ Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the tower of Hananel unto the gate of the corner.

⁵ I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me.

⁶ And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.

⁷ And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman.

⁸ And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

¹³ And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹⁷ Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

⁵ Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers;

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

¹⁰ He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, `Even' he that teacheth man knowledge?

⁷ But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
