No king is saved by the strength of his army

Psalm 33:16
No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.


Ecclessaistes 9:11
I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (New International Version, ©2011)

¹⁷ You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” ¹⁸ But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
