For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

For God is the judge; He puts one down, and raises up another.

But He helps the poor out of poverty, and makes [him] families as a flock.

who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:

And let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.

And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.

And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].

You have taken off the turban and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: you have abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.

Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it; woe to it. Such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.

He has overthrown the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death.

The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice; for the dew from You is healing to them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.

And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and [some] of the many righteous as the stars forever and ever.

foreseeing [this], he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, "that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption."

"Therefore having being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

which He worked in Christ, having raised Him from the dead, and seated [Him] at His right hand in the heavenlies,

above every ruler and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the coming [age].

which [as] an antitype, baptism now also saves us-(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but an appeal to God [for] a good conscience), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

who having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.

The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; He brings low, and lifts up.

He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory;

[ 24:15] And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?

And now thus shall you say to My servant David: Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, that you should be a prince over My people, over Israel.

And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.

And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung heap outside the city.

He will not by any means preserve the life of the ungodly, and He will grant the judgment of the poor.

He will not turn away His eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne, and He will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
