Mark 14:2

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

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

Behold, I have only found this: that God made man upright; but they search for many schemes.”

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.
