God is in control

Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.

Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
