¹¹ The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

²⁴ The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

⁸ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

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