Bible Verses About Change

“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.”

— Psalms 55:19

"I am the LORD, I change not" — the Bible's strategy for surviving change is an unchanging reference point, and these verses supply it. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 55:19 to 2 Peter 3:8.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about change here is Psalms 55:19: "God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.

Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about change?

Psalms 62:6 is the usual second: "He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
Which verse fits a change season best?
The first verse on the list is the most commonly returned to for this theme, and each card shows its full text so you can judge in context rather than by reputation. There is no required verse for a season — the list exists so the right text can find you, which usually happens on the second or third reading.
Where in the Bible does it talk about change?
The verses on this page come from 7 books of the Bible — most notably Psalms, Isaiah, Lamentations and 4 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses change in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
How do I use a list of verses about change?
Read the list once slowly, then keep the one verse that fits your situation close — the copy button places it wherever you will actually see it. Every card can be switched to the World English Bible for modern wording, and the random verse tool at the top of the page can draw one verse from this theme at a time if the whole list is more than today needs.
