I will establish my sovereignty over Elam. I will destroy their king and their leaders," says the Lord.

But I, the Lord, make the following promise: I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth.

The Lord is the one who by his power made the earth. He is the one who by his wisdom established the world. And by his understanding he spread out the skies.

And there are times when I promise to build up and establish a nation or kingdom.
