Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them.

Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand.

Judgment does not come from the east or from the west, from the north or from the south;

it is God who is the judge, condemning some and acquitting others.

All the trees in the land will know that I am the LORD. I cut down the tall trees and make small trees grow tall. I wither up the green trees and make the dry trees become green. I, the LORD, have spoken. I will do what I have said I would do."

He has brought down mighty kings from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly.
