The Promise Fulfilled

43 So the Lord gave to Israel (A)all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they (B)took possession of it and dwelt in it. 44 (C)The Lord gave them (D)rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And (E)not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 (F)Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

43 So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors,(A) and they took possession(B) of it and settled there.(C) 44 The Lord gave them rest(D) on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors.

19 “God(A) is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He (B)said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
(C)He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

21 “He(D) has not observed iniquity in Jacob,
Nor has He seen [a]wickedness in Israel.
The Lord his God is with him,
(E)And the shout of a King is among them.
22 (F)God brings them out of Egypt;
He has (G)strength like a wild ox.

23 “For there is no [b]sorcery against Jacob,
Nor any [c]divination against Israel.
It now must be said of Jacob
And of Israel, ‘Oh, (H)what God has done!’
24 Look, a people rises (I)like a lioness,
And lifts itself up like a lion;
(J)It shall not lie down until it devours the prey,
And drinks the blood of the slain.”

19 God is not human,(A) that he should lie,(B)
    not a human being, that he should change his mind.(C)
Does he speak and then not act?
    Does he promise(D) and not fulfill?
20 I have received a command to bless;(E)
    he has blessed,(F) and I cannot change it.(G)

21 “No misfortune is seen in Jacob,(H)
    no misery observed[a] in Israel.(I)
The Lord their God is with them;(J)
    the shout of the King(K) is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt;(L)
    they have the strength of a wild ox.(M)
23 There is no divination against[b] Jacob,
    no evil omens(N) against[c] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
    and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(O)
    they rouse themselves like a lion(P)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
    and drinks the blood(Q) of its victims.”
