4 Sovereignty over the earth is in the hand of God,who appoints the right person for the right time.
5 Sovereignty over everyone is in the hand of God,who imparts his majesty to the ruler.
6 No matter what the wrong, never harm your neighboror go the way of arrogance.
7 Odious to the Lord and to mortals is pride,and for both oppression is a crime.
8 Sovereignty is transferred from one people to anotherbecause of the lawlessness of the proud.
9 Why are dust and ashes proud?Even during life the body decays.
10 A slight illness—the doctor jests;a king today—tomorrow he is dead.
