Note, God often chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to confound the wise and mighty; and a herdman of Tekoa puts to shame a priest of Bethel, when he receives from God authority and ability to act for him.

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. KJV
{ And the Lord took me, when I followed the flock; and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy thou
to my people Israel.} Wycliffe's Bible
