¹³ But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

³ But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or tell him, What do you?

²¹ There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.

¹⁴ Behold, he breaks down, and it can't be built again; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

²⁰ Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: He has blessed, and I can't reverse it.

¹⁰ declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;

²⁴ Yahweh of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

²⁵ that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.

²⁶ This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.

²⁷ For Yahweh of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

¹⁴ I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

¹⁵ That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

²⁹ When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man:

¹² Behold, he snatches away; who can hinder him? Who will ask him, 'What are you doing?'

¹³ "God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

⁹ making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

¹⁰ to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

¹¹ in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

¹⁹ You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"

⁶ Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

¹⁰ If he passes by, or confines, Or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
