'Powerless' in the Bible

Your sons and daughters will be given to another people while you look on in vain all day, and you will be powerless to do anything about it.

Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.

Their residents are powerless, they are terrified and ashamed. They are as short-lived as plants in the field, or green vegetation. They are as short-lived as grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.

Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless against this huge army that attacks us! We don't know what we should do; we look to you for help."

And now, though we share the same flesh and blood as our fellow countrymen, and our children are just like their children, still we have found it necessary to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have been subjected to slavery, while we are powerless to help, since our fields and vineyards now belong to other people."

But man dies and is powerless; he expires -- and where is he?

"How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!

For the calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his majesty I was powerless.

When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners are powerless before me;

Their residents are powerless; they are terrified and ashamed. They are as short-lived as plants in the field or green vegetation. They are as short-lived as grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
