5 ‘I myself have made the earth,+ mankind*+ and the beasts+ that are upon the surface of the earth by my great power+ and by my stretched-out arm;+ and I have given it to whom it has proved right in my eyes.+

21 And he is changing times* and seasons,+ removing kings and setting up kings,+ giving wisdom to the wise ones and knowledge to those knowing discernment.+

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are being considered as merely nothing,+ and he is doing according to his own will* among the army of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth.+ And there exists no one that can check his hand+ or that can say to him, ‘What have you been doing?’+

21 And from the sons of mankind* he was driven away, and his very heart was made like that of a beast, and with the wild asses his dwelling was.+ Vegetation they would give him to eat just like bulls, and with the dew of the heavens his own body got to be wet,+ until he knew that the Most High God is Ruler* in the kingdom of mankind, and that the one whom he wants to, he sets up over it.+
