The world and sky will end,\par but you will live forever!\par They will wear out like clothes.\par And, like clothes, you will change them.\par They will all be changed.\par
The Lord’s teachings are perfect.\par They give strength to God’s people.\par The Lord’s Agreement {\cf2\super [110]} can be trusted.\par It helps foolish people become wise.\par
The skies will be rolled shut like a scroll. {\cf2\super [313]} And the stars will die and fall like leaves from a vine or a fig tree. All the stars {\cf2\super [314]} in the sky will melt away.
Look up to the heavens!\par Look around you at the earth below!\par The skies will disappear\par like clouds of smoke.\par The earth will become\par like worthless old clothes.\par The people on earth will die,\par but my Salvation will continue forever.\par My goodness will never end.\par
The Lord says,\par “The mountains may disappear,\par and the hills may become dust.\par But my kindness will never leave you.\par I will make peace with you,\par and it will never end.”\par The Lord shows mercy to you.\par And he is the One that said these things.\par
In the same way, my words leave my mouth,\par and they don’t come back until they make things happen.\par My words make the things happen that I want to happen.\par My words succeed in doing the things I send them to do.\par
God is not a man;
he will not lie.
God is not a human being;
his decisions will not change.
If the Lord says he will do something,
then he will do it.
If the Lord makes a promise,
then he will do the thing he promised.
I tell you the truth. Nothing will disappear from the law until heaven and earth are gone. The law will not lose even the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter until all has happened.
