¹⁹ The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

² For the Lord Most High is to be feared; he is a great King over all the earth.

²² Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

⁹ For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

¹⁰ So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

⁴ The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

¹ Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

²¹ Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

²² And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church,

³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

³⁵ And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?

²⁵ That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

¹⁷ This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

¹ The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?

³ But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

⁷ But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.

⁴ Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
