futile.

thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not
happen. For God is with us.”

whither we
flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

Behold, the former things have
happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I
proclaim them to you.”

Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
