"Behold,thisis the joyof His way;And out of the dustotherswill spring.
That the triumphingof the wickedis short,And the joyof the godlessmomentary?
"Lo,Godwill not reject[a man of] integrity,Norwill He supportthe evildoers.
He raisesthe poorfrom the dustAnd liftsthe needyfrom the ashheap,
But Godis the Judge;He putsdownoneand exaltsanother.
"Allthe treesof the fieldwill knowthat I am the LORD;I bringdownthe hightree,exaltthe lowtree,dryup the greentreeand make the drytreeflourish.I am the LORD;I have spoken,and I will perform[it]."
and do not supposethat you can sayto yourselves,We haveAbrahamfor our father;for I sayto you that from thesestonesGodis ableto raiseup childrento Abraham.
"He raisesthe poorfrom the dust,He liftsthe needyfrom the ashheapTo make them sitwith nobles,And inherita seatof honor;For the pillarsof the earthare the LORD'S,And He setthe worldon them.
