For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

And for a spirit of justice to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

Because your rage against me, and your tumult, has come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, you are our gods.

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked out the beard: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

And justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
