Thiswill be the signto you,' declaresthe LORD,'that I am going to punishyou in thisplace,sothat you may knowthat My wordswill surelystandagainstyou for harm.'
Manyplansare in a man'sheart,But the counselof the LORDwill stand.
Yet He alsois wiseand will bringdisasterAnd does not retractHis words,But will ariseagainstthe houseof evildoersAnd againstthe helpof the workersof iniquity.
The grasswithers,the flowerfades,But the wordof our Godstandsforever.

"Thereforethe LordHimselfwill giveyou a sign:Behold,a virginwill be with childand beara son,and she will callHis nameImmanuel.
Behold,I and the childrenwhomthe LORDhas givenme are for signsand wondersin Israelfrom the LORDof hosts,who dwellson MountZion.
"Thussaysthe LORD,'Behold,I am going to giveover PharaohHophrakingof Egyptto the handof his enemies,to the handof those who seekhis life,justas I gaveover Zedekiahkingof Judahto the handof Nebuchadnezzarkingof Babylon,[who was] his enemyand was seekinghis life.'"
"But did not My wordsand My statutes,whichI commandedMy servantsthe prophets,overtakeyour fathers?Then they repentedand said,As the LORDof hostspurposedto doto us in accordance with our waysand our deeds,soHe has dealtwith us.'"'"
