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]?

Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.

And if He too has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for He has both willed a thing and done it.

[There are] many thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of the Lord abides forever.

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

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

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;

calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned; I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

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

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
