Genesis 45:5-8

5 And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, ^afor God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are ^byet five years in which there will be neither ^cplowing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. 8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ^druler over all the land of Egypt.

2 Chronicles 32:20-26

The Lord Delivers Jerusalem

20 Then Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried to heaven. 21 And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with ^eshame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword. 22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies, and he provided for them on every side. 23 And many ^fbrought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time onward.

Hezekiah’s Pride and Achievements

24 ^gIn those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the Lord, and he answered him and gave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah ^hdid not make return according to the benefit done to him, for ⁱhis heart was proud. Therefore ^jwrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem. 26 But Hezekiah ^khumbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Job 22:28-30

28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and ^llight will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’; ^{▼▼Or you say, ‘It is exaltation’}
but he saves ⁿthe lowly.
30 He ^odelivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through ^pthe cleanness of your hands.”

Ecclesiastes 9:15

15 But there was found in it ^qa poor, wise man, and he by his ^rwisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

Isaiah 58:12

12 ^sAnd your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.

Daniel 4:27

27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by ^tpracticing righteousness, ^uand your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, ^vthat there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.”
