²⁷ For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

¹³ Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

¹³ But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

⁶ And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.

¹² Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

¹¹ The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
