Mark Quayle: "No doubt, the confidence, purely in the will of God, and the work of God on their behalf, and in the knowledge that God will accomplish all he set out to do, and the happiness at the thought of God's happiness with his plan, and the confidence one gains from the truth, comes across as arrogance to those who claim self-ability, but know somewhere inside that they are not of themselves to be trusted with such a grand task."

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
