⁹ `Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this?

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁶ and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

⁷ do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?

³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him `are' the all things; to Him `is' the glory -- to the ages. Amen.

⁵ Thus do ye say unto your lords, I -- I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that `are' on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it hath been right in Mine eyes.

⁶ `And now, I -- I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given to him to serve him;

¹⁸ And he hath filled their houses `with' good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)

³ I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these?

⁷ Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.

¹⁷ and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:

¹⁸ `And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it `is' who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as `at' this day.
