The Mighty God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should be sorry. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Behold, I have been chosen to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

But He is One, and who can turn Him back? And whatever His soul desires, that He does.

There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of Jehovah shall stand.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Jehovah.

For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;

calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a distant land. Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have formed it; I will also do it.

For I, Jehovah, change not. Therefore you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.

For the gifts and the calling of God are without regret.
