2 Kings 7:1

7:1 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah ¹  of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’”

Numbers 23:19

23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie,

nor a human being, ²  that he should change his mind.

Has he said, and will he not do it?

Or has he spoken, and will he not make it happen? ³ 

Isaiah 44:26

44:26 who fulfills the oracles of his prophetic servants ⁴ 

and brings to pass the announcements ⁵  of his messengers,

who says about Jerusalem, ⁶  ‘She will be inhabited,’

and about the towns of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt,

her ruins I will raise up,’

Matthew 24:35

24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ⁷ 

[7:1]  ¹ sn A seah was a dry measure equivalent to about 7 quarts.

[23:19]  ² tn Heb “son of man.”

[23:19]  ³ tn The verb is the Hiphil of קוּם (qum, “to cause to rise; to make stand”). The meaning here is more of the sense of fulfilling the promises made.

[44:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “the word of his servant.” The following context indicates that the Lord’s prophets are in view.

[44:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “counsel.” The Hebrew term עֵצָה (’etsah) probably refers here to the divine plan as announced by the prophets. See HALOT 867 s.v. I עֵצָה.
