But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

Verse Takeaways

God Alone Gives Promotion

All commentators agree that God is the ultimate source of all promotion and success. Human status is not determined by natural advantages, personal skill, or powerful alliances, but by God's sovereign will. He is the Judge who decides who is lifted up and who is brought low, for both individuals and nations.
