Job 12:13-23 — But only with God are perfect wisdom and might. He alone has true counsel and understanding. Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be built again; He shuts a man or woman in, and none can open. He  withholds the waters, and the land dries up; again, He sends forth rains, and they overwhelm the land or transform it. With Him are might and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His and in His power. He leads great and scheming counselors away stripped and barefoot and makes the judges fools in human estimation, by overthrowing their plans. He looses the fetters ordered by kings and has the waistcloth of a slave bound about their own loins. He leads away priests as spoil, and men firmly seated He overturns. He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment and discretion of the aged. He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong disabling them, bringing low the pride of the learned.

Job 42:2 — I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted.

Psalm 37:1-9 — We fret not because of evildoers, neither are we envious against those who work unrighteousness that which is not upright or in right standing with God. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. We trust, lean on, rely on, and are confident in the Lord. We shall dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly we shall be fed. And He will make our uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and our justice and right as the shining sun of the noonday.Continue reading
