Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. And nothing is strong as our God is strong.
Do not continue speaking of great things, boasting. Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, and thoughts are prepared for him.
The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, and the weak have been girded with strength.
Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. And the starving have been filled, so that the barren have given birth to many. But she who had borne many sons has become unable.
The Lord brings death, and he gives life. He leads away to death, and he brings back again.
The Lord impoverishes, and he enriches. He humbles, and he lifts up.
He raises up the indigent from the dust, and he lifts up the poor from filth, so that they may sit with princes, and take hold of a throne of glory. For the hinges of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the globe upon them.
