And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break My covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God.

Refrain for Your name's sake, destroy not the throne of Your glory. Remember, break not Your covenant with us.

[This translation omits this verse.]

God is not as a man that He should waver, nor as a son of man that He should be threatened; shall He say and not perform? Shall He speak and not keep [His word]?

For I am the Lord your God, and I change not;

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
