- He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
- Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
- They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

- "He wrongs the barren woman And does no good for the widow.
- "But He drags off the valiant by His power; He rises, but no one has assurance of life.
- "He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways.
- "They are exalted a little while, then they are gone; Moreover, they are brought low and like everything gathered up; Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
- "Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthless?"
