⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.

²⁶ And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

⁴⁸ But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

¹⁸ As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:
