24 Jehovah of armies has sworn,+ saying: “Surely just as I have figured, so it must occur; and just as I have counseled, that is what will come true,+

11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be.+ It will not return to me without results,+ but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted,+ and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it.+

12 And he proceeded to carry out his words that he had spoken against us+ and against our judges who judged us,+ by bringing upon us great calamity, such as was not done under the whole heavens as what has been done in Jerusalem.+

6 However, as regards my words and my regulations that I commanded my servants, the prophets,+ did they not catch up with YOUR fathers?’+ So they returned and said: ‘According to what Jehovah of armies had in mind to do to us,+ according to our ways and according to our dealings, that is how he has done with us.’”+
