Luke 16:17 (KJV)
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Indeed, this heaven and earth will pass. It will melt with fervent heat. It will flee away and God will make a new heaven and new earth.
But the law, God’s Word, that will remain forever. No portion of it will fail.
I understand that many will interpret this in the strictest sense and apply it to only the Mosaic law. They are wrong. The Word of God at that time was only the Law and the Prophets. The term referred not only to the Torah and the Prophets but everything in between them, the historical and poetical books of the Old Testament. Jesus was not excluding those books as part of the preserved Word of God. Neither was He excluding those books of the Bible, the New Testament, that had not yet been given.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. All of it. The Law, the Prophets, everything between them and everything after them until God closed the canon in,
Revelation 22:18-19 (KJV)
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
