'Purposing' in the Bible
The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the Lord of hosts which He is purposing against them.
This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.
The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.
Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.
