When the Most High divided the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.

A Psalm of David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and all its fullness; the world, and all that dwell in it.

He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord; but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

I have made the earth by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to whomsoever it shall seem [good] in My eyes.

I have given the earth to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labor for him.

The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is Most High [over] the kingdom of men, and He will give it to whomever He will, and sets it over the lowest of men.

and they shall drive you forth from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts, and they shall feed you with grass like an ox, and you shall have your lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

And they [shall] drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed you with grass like an ox. And seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and He shall give it to whomever He chooses.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own [things]? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
