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. Not one of their enemies(E) withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies(F) into their hands.(G) 45 Not one of all the Lord’s good promises(H) to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

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.”
