Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high forever, Holy in the holies is His name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted;

Before the mountains existed, and [before] the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are [God].

Your throne is prepared of old; You are from everlasting.

He established me in the beginning, before time was, before He made the earth.

And you, Bethlehem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Judah; yet out of you shall one come forth to Me, to be a ruler of Israel; and His goings forth were from the beginning, even from eternity.

Are You not from everlasting, O Lord God, my Holy One? And surely we shall not die. O Lord, You have established it for judgment, and He has formed me to chasten with His correction.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

Now to the King of the Ages, immortal, invisible, [the] only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "He who is and He who was and He who is to come, The Almighty."

Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your donkey shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper.

Behold I, even I, am [He], and there is no God beside Me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will smite, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of My hands.

Now consider these things, all you that forget God, lest He tear [you], and there be none to deliver.

And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of My hand.

For I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Judah. And I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.

declaring beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together; and I said, all My counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned;

If He would take away, who shall turn Him back? Or who shall say to Him, What have You done?

For if He would confine, and restrain His Spirit with Himself;

all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, from where he was formed.

And He will give quiet, and who will condemn? And He will hide His face, and who shall see Him? Whether it be done against a nation, or against a man, also:

There is no wisdom, there is no courage, there is no counsel against the ungodly.

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and He does according to His will in the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand His power, and say to Him, What have You done?

So then He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has [ever] resisted His will?"

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? And who shall turn back His uplifted hand?
