³ You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’^(A)

¹¹ But the plans of the Lord stand firm^(A) forever,
    the purposes^(B) of his heart through all generations.

¹³ But they soon forgot^(A) what he had done
    and did not wait for his plan to unfold.^(B)

¹¹ because they rebelled^(A) against God’s commands
    and despised^(B) the plans^(C) of the Most High.

²¹ Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.^(A)

²⁶ This is the plan^(A) determined for the whole world;

¹⁰ I make known the end from the beginning,^(A)
    from ancient times,^(B) what is still to come.^(C)

    what I have planned,^(G) that I will do.^(H)
