¹⁹ God is not a human being, that he should lie,
    or a mortal, that he should change his mind.
Has he promised, and will he not do it?
    Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?^(A)

²⁰ You will not be joined with them in burial
    because you have destroyed your land;
    you have killed your people.

¹⁴ The Lord of hosts has revealed himself in my ears:
“Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,”
    says the Lord God of hosts.^(A)

²⁹ This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
    he is wonderful in counsel
    and excellent in wisdom.^(A)

⁷ I form light and create darkness,
    I make weal and create woe;
    I the Lord do all these things.^(A)
