His rule is everlasting,
and his kingdom is eternal.
35 All the people of the earth
are nothing compared to him.
He does as he pleases
among the angels of heaven
and among the people of the earth.
No one can stop him or say to him,
‘What do you mean by doing these things?’

his kingdom(C) endures from generation to generation.(D)
35 All the peoples of the earth
are regarded as nothing.(E)
He does as he pleases(F)
with the powers of heaven
and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back(G) his hand(H)
or say to him: “What have you done?”(I)
