Bible Verses About The Providence of God: Ordaining the conditions and circumstances of men

ADONAI makes poor, and he makes rich; he humbles, and he exalts.

He raises the poor from the dust, lifts up the needy from the trash pile; he gives them a place with leaders and assigns them seats of honor. "For the earth's pillars belong to ADONAI; on them he has placed the world.

For you will not be raised to power by those in the east, the west or the desert;

since God is the judge; and it is he who puts down one and lifts up another.
