Numbers 23:19

God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

God {H410} is not a man {H376}, that he should lie {H3576}; neither the son {H1121} of man {H120}, that he should repent {H5162}: hath he said {H559}, and shall he not do {H6213} it? or hath he spoken {H1696}, and shall he not make it good {H6965}?

"God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes his mind. When he says something, he will do it; when he makes a promise, he will fulfill it

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?
