Job 23:13

13But he is unchangeable,
Or one
and bwho can turn him back?
What he cdesires, that he does.

Psalms 33:11

11 dThe counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.

Psalms 40:5

5You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your ewondrous deeds and your fthoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are gmore than can be told.

Isaiah 46:10-11

10 hdeclaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, i‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11 jcalling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
kI have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it.

Isaiah 55:8-12

8For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 lFor as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 mFor as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
ngiving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but oit shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
12 p“For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
qthe mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Micah 4:12

12But rthey do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
that she has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.

Zechariah 1:6

6 tBut my words and my statutes, which I commanded umy servants the prophets, did they not vovertake your fathers? So they repented and said, w‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for xour ways and ydeeds, so has he dealt with us.’”
