God's Unstoppable Sovereignty
All commentators agree this verse is a powerful declaration of God's absolute sovereignty. His will is perfectly accomplished in heaven and irresistibly on earth. Scholars explain that phrases like "none can stay his hand" mean no power can hinder His plans, and "what doest thou?" shows He is not accountable to His creation. His purposes in providence and salvation will be fulfilled.
