10 Having therefore this hope,
let us hold fast to him who is
faithful in all his promises, and
righteous in all his judgments;
who has commanded us not to lie,
how much more will he not
himself lie?

11 For nothing is impossible
with God but to lie.

12 Let his faith then be stirred
up again in us; and let us consider
that all things are nigh unto him.

13 By the word of his power he
made all things: and by the same
word he is able, (whenever he
will,) to destroy them.

14 Who shall say unto him,
what dost thou? or who shall
resist the power of his strength?

15 When, and as he pleased,
he will do all things; and nothing
shall pass away of all that has been
determined by him.

16 All things are open before
him; nor can anything be hid
from his counsel.

17 The heavens declare the
glory of God, and the firmament
showeth his handy work. Day
unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night showeth
knowledge. There is no speech nor
language where their voice is not
heard.
