If the LORD does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless; if the LORD does not protect the city, it does no good for the sentries to stand guard.

Human wisdom, brilliance, insight---they are of no help if the LORD is against you.

I am God and always will be. No one can escape from my power; no one can change what I do."

He looks on the people of the earth as nothing; angels in heaven and people on earth are under his control. No one can oppose his will or question what he does.
