“All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the powers of Heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back His hand or say to Him: What have you done?” Daniel 4:35
“地上的万民在他面前如同无物。他随自己的意愿行事,可以掌管天上的势力和地上的百姓。没有人能拦住他的手,或问他说:你做了什么?” 但以理书 4:35
As well might a worm seek to resist the tread of an elephant;
就像寄生虫试图抵挡大象的脚步;
as well might a babe step between the railroad tracks and attempt to push back the on-rushing train;
就像婴儿可能在铁轨之间试图推回呼啸而来的火车;
as well might a child seek to prevent the ocean from rolling-
就像孩子试图阻止海洋的波涛翻滚——
as for a creature to try and resist the outworking of the purpose of the Lord God!
就像一个受造物试图抵抗主神旨意的实现一样!
Ah, my reader, this is the first great lesson we have to learn:
啊,我的读者,这就是我们必须学习的第一大课:
that God is the Creator-and we are the creature;
那神是创造者——我们是受造物;
that He is the Potter-and we are the clay!
他是陶工——我们是泥土!
“O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in Heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can withstand You!” 2 Chronicles 20:6
“耶和华,我们列祖的神啊,你不是在天上吗?你治理万国的王权与大能都在你手中,没有人能抵挡你!” 历代志下 20:6

Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature-He is the Most High, Lord of Heaven and earth.

Subject to none, influenced by none-He is absolutely independent.
不受任何人的支配,也不受任何人的影响——他是绝对独立的。
God does . . .

as He pleases,
随他所愿,
only as He pleases,
仅仅随他所愿,
and always as He pleases.
并且永远随他所愿。
None can thwart Him, none can hinder Him.
没有人能阻挠他,没有人能妨碍他。
