Genesis 27:45

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.

He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”

He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

If someone is found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him,

Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers;

The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.

Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”

My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him.

That which is crooked can’t be made straight; and that which is lacking can’t be counted.
