said unto me, go, prophesy unto my people Israel......................

........ Amos."

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound the things which
are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath
God chosen; yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are-
that no flesh should glory in his presence......
.Apostle Paul.
