"He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty."
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm

he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts
Genesis 11:8-9 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel--because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Jeremiah 49:16 "The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks, who occupy the heights of the hill. Though you build your nest as high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD.
but has lifted up the humble
Matthew 23:12 "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
He has filled the hungry with good things
Psalm 107:9 ... for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."
