¹⁰ 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:

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.

⁹ Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

¹⁰ That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

¹¹ In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

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?

²¹ Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

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

⁶ Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

³⁹ But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

⁷ And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
