1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in His presence.

Isaiah 53:3-5 (prophecy about Jesus):
3 HE is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from HIM; HE was despised, and we esteemed HIM not.
4 Surely HE hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem HIM stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But HE was wounded for our transgressions, HE was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon HIM and with HIS stripes we are healed.

Proverbs 16:1-2 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

Psalm 36:7-10 How excellent is THY lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of THY wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of THY house; and THOU shalt make them drink of the river of THY pleasures.
9 For with THEE is the fountain of life: in THY light shall we see light.
10 O continue THY lovingkindness unto them that know THEE; and THY righteousness to the upright in heart.

Ecclesiastes 9:10-11 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
