ESVEnglish Standard Version

For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,

but it is God who executes judgment,

putting down one and lifting up another.

or from the desert can exalt themselves.

It is God who judges:

He brings one down, he exalts another.

Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.

NLTNew Living Translation

For no one on earth—from east or west,

or even from the wilderness—

should raise a defiant fist.

It is God alone who judges;

he decides who will rise and who will fall.

For promotion cometh neither from the east,

Nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
