Jonah 1:13

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

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

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

For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

“Come! Let’s return to Yahweh; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.

But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn’t go down to his house.

He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest.

He frustrates the plans of the crafty, So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.

He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.

Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.

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

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.

I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

When Jehudi had read three or four leaves, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

Come, let’s deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.

He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

The king of Jericho was told, “Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land.”

Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.

David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.

While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.

When the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.”

Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For Yahweh had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring evil on Absalom.

He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.

Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?

Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

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

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,

How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

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

Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

“ ‘ “ ‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.

Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.

Your rowers have brought you into great waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”

I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”

I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
