And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the rubbish, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he has set the world upon them.

Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

He pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

It shall be the lowest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said unto me, Where is the LORD your God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
