23 And the Lord said to Moses, z“Is the Lord’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not.”
An Oracle Concerning Assyria
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
d“As I have planned,
so shall it be,
and as I have purposed,
so shall it stand,
10 adeclaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11 calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it.
11 so shall my hword be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but iit shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
25 For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.”
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.”
14 I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; taccording to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”
