²⁷ The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—
    who can change his plans?
When his hand is raised,
    who can stop him?”

¹³ “From eternity to eternity I am God.
    No one can snatch anyone out of my hand.
    No one can undo what I have done.”

¹³ But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind?
    Whatever he wants to do, he does.

³⁰ No human wisdom or understanding or plan
    can stand against the Lord.

¹² If he snatches someone in death, who can stop him?
    Who dares to ask, ‘What are you doing?’

²¹ You can make many plans,
    but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

¹¹ But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
    his intentions can never be shaken.
