²⁹ He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie^(A) or change^(B) his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes

⁶ “I the Lord do not change.^(A) So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.^(B)

² in the hope of eternal life,^(A) which God, who does not lie,^(B) promised before the beginning of time,^(C)

¹⁷ Because God wanted to make the unchanging^(A) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,^(B) he confirmed it with an oath. ¹⁸ God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,^(C) we who have fled to take hold of the hope^(D) set before us may be greatly encouraged.
