• 1 Samuel 8:4-7
  Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, 'Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.' But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, 'Give us a king to judge us.' So Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
   
• Isaiah 40:9-15
  O Zion,
  You who bring good tidings,
  Get up into the high mountain;
  O Jerusalem,
  You who bring good tidings,
  Lift up your voice with strength,
  Lift it up, be not afraid;
  Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
  Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand,
  And His arm shall rule for Him;
  Behold, His reward is with Him,
  And His work before Him.
  He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
  He will gather the lambs with His arm,
  And carry them in His bosom,
  And gently lead those who are with young.
  Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
  Measured heaven with a span
  And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
  Weighed the mountains in scales
  And the hills in a balance?
  Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD,
  Or as His counselor has taught Him?
  With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him,
  And taught Him in the path of justice?
  Who taught Him knowledge,
  And showed Him the way of understanding?
  Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket,
  And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
  Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.

And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
  ' We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
  The One who is and who was and who is to come,
  Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
  The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
  And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
  And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
  And those who fear Your name, small and great,
  And should destroy those who destroy the earth." Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
