Isaiah 9:12
9:12 Syria from the east,
and the Philistines from the west,
they gobbled up Israelite territory.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again.
Isaiah 9:2
9:2 (9:1) The people walking in darkness
see a bright light;
light shines
on those who live in a land of deep darkness.
Isaiah 20:6
20:6 At that time
those who live on this coast
will say, ‘Look what has happened to our source of hope to whom we fled for help, expecting to be rescued from the king of Assyria! How can we escape now?’”
Job 9:12
9:12 If he snatches away, who can turn him back?
Who dares to say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
Job 23:13
23:13 But he is unchangeable, and who can change him?
Whatever he has desired, he does.
Psalms 33:11
33:11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever;
his plans abide throughout the ages.
Proverbs 19:21

but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.
Proverbs 21:30
21:30 There is no wisdom and there is no understanding,
and there is no counsel against the Lord.
Daniel 4:31-35
4:31 While these words were still on the king’s lips,
a voice came down from heaven: “It is hereby announced to you,
King Nebuchadnezzar, that your kingdom has been removed from you!
4:32 You will be driven from human society, and you will live with the wild animals. You will be fed grass like oxen, and seven periods of time will pass by for you before
you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.”
4:33 Now in that very moment this pronouncement about Nebuchadnezzar came true. He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws.
4:34 But at the end of the appointed time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me.
I extolled the Most High,
and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.
For his authority is an everlasting authority,
and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing.
He does as he wishes with the army of heaven
and with those who inhabit the earth.
No one slaps his hand
and says to him, ‘What have you done?’
