God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (A)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (B)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (C)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (D)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (E)the heirs of promise (F)the [a]immutability of His counsel, [b]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [c]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (G)lie, we [d]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (H)set before us.

New King James Version
16 (A)So that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And (B)he who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;

And because they are hidden from My eyes.

New King James Version
19 I have not spoken in (A)secret,
In a dark place of the earth;
I did not say to the seed of Jacob,
‘Seek Me [a]in vain’;
(B)I, the Lord, speak righteousness,
I declare things that are right.

Isaiah 44:3-5
New King James Version
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,
And floods on the dry ground;
I will pour My Spirit on your descendants,
And My blessing on your offspring;
4 They will spring up among the grass
Like willows by the watercourses.’
5 One will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
Another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
Another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
And name himself by the name of Israel.

18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will (A)speak the language of Canaan and (B)swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of [a]Destruction.
19 In that day (C)there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the (D)Lord at its border. 20 And (E)it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a (F)Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will (G)know the Lord in that day, and (H)will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it.
