Daniel 4:35 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A due consideration of God's infinite greatness makes the creature appear as nothing in comparison of God. Creatures are nothing to help, nothing to hurt, nothing absolutely, nothing in duration, nothing solid and substantial, nothing without dependence, and influence, and support from God. God is I am, and there is none else. Verily every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah, Psalms 39:5. Yea, less than vanity, and nothing, Psalms 62:9 Isaiah 40:17. He doeth according to his will, Psalms 115:3. God only is arbitrary. In the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; being the Lord of hosts, and the only absolute and universal Monarch of the world. None can stay his hand; he is irresistible and uncontrollable, Job 9:12 Isaiah 45:9 Romans 11:33-36.

Daniel 4:35

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
