Power and prosperity soon pass from one to another in this changing world.

Isaiah 5:25 On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this His anger is not spent, But His hand is still stretched out.

Isaiah 42:17 They will be turned back and be utterly put to shame, Who trust in idols, Who say to molten images, "You are our gods."

Jeremiah 6:25 Do not go out into the field And do not walk on the road, For the enemy has a sword, Terror is on every side.
