  • Job 8:13-19 : 13 So are the paths of all that forget God; the hypocrite's hope shall perish: 14 Whose hope will be cut off, and whose trust is a spider's web. 15 He shall lean on his house, but it will not stand; he shall hold it fast, but it will not endure. 16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden. 17 His roots are wrapped around the heap, and sees the place of stones. 18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, 'I have not seen you.' 19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth others shall grow.
  • Job 21:7-9 : 7 Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, grow mighty in power? 8 Their descendants are established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their houses are safe from fear, nor is the rod of God upon them. 10 Their bull breeds and does not fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry. 11 They send out their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. 12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice to the sound of the flute. 13 They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment go down to the grave. 14 Therefore they say to God, 'Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.' 15 Who is the Almighty that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him? 16 Indeed, their prosperity is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out! And how often does their destruction come upon them! God distributes sorrows in His anger.
  • Ps 73:3-9 : 3 For I was envious of the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no pains in their death; but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride surrounds them as a chain; violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; they have more than heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly of oppression; they speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full cup are drained by them. 11 And they say, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
  • Isa 14:14-19 : 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. 15 Yet you will be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see you will look narrowly upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; who did not open the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house. 19 But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; like a carcass trodden under foot.
  • Ezek 31:6-9 : 6 All the birds of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and under its shadow all great nations dwelt. 7 Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was by great waters. 8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like its branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty. 9 I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. 10 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have lifted yourself up in height, and it has set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart is lifted up in its height;
  • Ezek 31:18 : 18 Who are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth; you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord GOD.
  • Dan 4:20-33 : 20 The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and its sight to all the earth, 21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heaven had their habitation, 22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong, for your greatness has grown and reaches unto heaven, and your dominion to the end of the earth. 23 And as the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Cut the tree down and destroy it; yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him. 24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25 That they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will. 26 And as they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after you have known that the heavens do rule. 27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, if it may be a lengthening of your tranquility. 28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of twelve months, he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 30 The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty? 31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken; The kingdom has departed from you. 32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make you eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will. 33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair had grown like eagle's feathers, and his nails like bird's claws.
  • Esth 5:11 : 11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
