1 Chronicles 29 11
O LORD, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign over all the sky and earth! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all.
-
Daniel 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?’

Job 38:4-41
“ Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you possess understanding!Who set its measurements– if you know– or who stretched a measuring line across it?On what were its bases set, or who laid its cornerstone–when the morning stars sang in chorus, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?“ Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,when I made the storm clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,when I prescribed its limits, and set in place its bolts and doors,when I said,‘ To here you may come and no farther, here your proud waves will be confined’?Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, or made the dawn know its place,that it might seize the corners of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features are dyed like a garment.Then from the wicked the light is withheld, and the arm raised in violence is broken.Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea, or walked about in the recesses of the deep?Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness?Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know it all!“ In what direction does light reside, and darkness, where is its place,that you may take them to their borders and perceive the pathways to their homes?You know, for you were born before them; and the number of your days is great!Have you entered the storehouse of the snow, or seen the armory of the hail,which I reserve for the time of trouble, for the day of war and battle?In what direction is lightning dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains, and a path for the rumble of thunder,to cause it to rain on an uninhabited land, a desert where there are no human beings,to satisfy a devastated and desolate land, and to cause it to sprout with vegetation?Does the rain have a father, or who has fathered the drops of the dew?From whose womb does the ice emerge, and the frost from the sky, who gives birth to it,when the waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen solid?Can you tie the bands of the Pleiades, or release the cords of Orion?Can you lead out the constellations in their seasons, or guide the Bear with its cubs?Do you know the laws of the heavens, or can you set up their rule over the earth?Can you raise your voice to the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Will they say to you,‘ Here we are’?Who has put wisdom in the heart, or has imparted understanding to the mind?Who by wisdom can count the clouds, and who can tip over the water jars of heaven,when the dust hardens into a mass, and the clumps of earth stick together?“ Do you hunt prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of the lions,when they crouch in their dens, when they wait in ambush in the thicket?Who prepares prey for the raven, when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

Job 36:23
Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him,‘ You have done what is wicked’?

Job 40:8-11
Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s, and can you thunder with a voice like his?Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low;

Romans 11:34-36
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?Or who has first given to God, that God needs to repay him?For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.
-
Isaiah 40:13-14
Who comprehends the mind of the LORD, or gives him instruction as his counselor?From whom does he receive directions? Who teaches him the correct way to do things, or imparts knowledge to him, or instructs him in skillful design?

Proverbs 8:23-30
From eternity I was appointed, from the beginning, from before the world existed.When there were no deep oceans I was born, when there were no springs overflowing with water;before the mountains were set in place– before the hills– I was born,before he made the earth and its fields, or the beginning of the dust of the world.When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,when he established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep grew strong,when he gave the sea his decree that the waters should not pass over his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,then I was beside him as a master craftsman, and I was his delight day by day, rejoicing before him at all times,
