God's Word is Unfailing
Commentators emphasize a key contrast: while people, including the prophets and their audiences, are temporary, God's Word is eternal and unfailing. The prophecies of judgment, described as God's "words and statutes," literally "overtook" the ancestors, proving that God's warnings are fulfilled. This serves as a powerful reminder of the certainty and reliability of Scripture.
