Five passages that come readily to mind, from both the Old and New Testaments:

Proverbs 21:30 ("No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel
can avail against the LORD.")

Isaiah 14:24 ("The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand.")

Acts 5:39 ("But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”)

1 Corinthians 15:24-27 ("Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he 'has put everything under his feet.' Now when it says that 'everything' has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.")

Philippians 2:10-11 ("...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.)
