God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
