Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done.
Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruin.
I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
