God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things— and the things that are not— to nullify the things that are,

God chose the things of this world that are common and looked down on. God chose things considered unimportant to do away with things considered important.

God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.

God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world— what is viewed as nothing— to bring to nothing what is viewed as something,

and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:

And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.

The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all.

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.

The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.At evening time, behold, terror!

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

And the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
