Daniel 4:17
Christian Standard Bible
17 This word is by decree of the watchers,
and the decision is by command from the holy ones.
This is so that the living will know
that the Most High is ruler
over human kingdoms.
He gives them to anyone he wants
and sets the lowliest of people over them.(A)

Nebuchadnezzar’s Praise
34 But at the end of those days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity returned to me. Then I praised the Most High and honored and glorified him who lives forever:(A)
For his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and his kingdom is from generation to generation.(B)
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing,(C)
and he does what he wants(D) with the army of heaven
and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can block his hand
or say to him, “What have you done?” (E)
Isaiah 40:21-24
Christian Standard Bible
21 Do you not know?(A)
Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning?
Have you not considered
the foundations of the earth?(B)
22 God is enthroned above the circle of the earth;
its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.(C)
He stretches out the heavens like thin cloth(D)
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.(E)
23 He reduces princes to nothing(F)
and makes judges of the earth like a wasteland.
24 They are barely planted, barely sown,
their stem hardly takes root in the ground
when he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind carries them away like stubble.(G)
