Isaiah 23:9

to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will,

This was according to the eternal purpose which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
