God » What is in hand of the lord God
You lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of his house before you and your lords, wives and concubines. They drank wine from them. You praise the gods of silver and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which you do not see, nor hear, nor know. You have not glorified the God whose hand holds your breath and life.
You are great and powerful, glorious, splendid, and majestic. Everything in heaven and earth is yours, and you, O Jehovah, are king, supreme ruler over all. All riches and wealth come from you. You rule everything by your strength and power. You are able to make anyone great and strong.
Which of all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this? In his hand are the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
Bless our God, you peoples. Make the sound of his praise heard. He has kept us alive and has not allowed us to fall.
God is the Judge; He brings down one and exalts another. Jehovah holds a cup in his hand. The wine foams and is well mixed. So he pours from it. Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.
For Jehovah is a great God, and a great King above all gods. Deep places of the earth are in his hand. The strength of the mountains is also His. The sea is his. He made it and his hands formed the dry land.
Jehovah controls the mind of a king as easily as he directs the course of a stream. He turns it where ever he wishes.
I considered all this in my heart and declared that the righteous and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows if love or hatred awaits him in the future.
Jehovah spoke his word to me. Jehovah asked: Nation of Israel, can I do with you as this potter does with clay? Nation of Israel, You are in my hands like the clay in the potter's hands.
