But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

21 Many plans are in the human heart, 

but the advice of the Lord will endure. 

21 Many plans are in a man’s heart,

but the Lord’s decree will prevail.

but the purpose of Yahweh will be established.

But the Lord’s purpose wins out in the end.

But the counsel of the Lord will stand.
