For the gifts and calling of God {are} without repentance.

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul {it}? and his hand {is} stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

But he {is} in one {mind}, and who can turn him? and {what} his soul desireth, even {that} he doeth.

{There is} no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

God {is} not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do {it}? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times {the things} that are not {yet} done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

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

And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

For I {am} the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

If his offering {be} a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
