In the verse \u201cThe counsel of the Lord, ever stands,\u201d we should understand that it is a rule that a person uses a counsel in order to obtain something. However, once he has obtained the matter, he no longer uses the counsel. Thus, what does \u201cever stands\u201d mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDelight them with a complete structure.\u201d What is completeness? It is when he has two things in his hand: 1) abundance, 2) reception of the abundance. If he cannot give the aim to bestow then there is no completeness because the abundance departs from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
