The word 'foreordained' I felt a need to try to search up, and could not find it, though many potent verses do come up with other words that are not quite that one:
The modern term is determined:
Foreordain:

Determine, Determinate:
denotes "to bound to set a boundary" (Eng., "horizon"); hence, "to mark out definitely, determine;" it is translated "to determine" in
Luk 22:22, of the fore-ordained pathway of Christ;
Act 11:29, of a "determination" to send relief;
Act 17:26, where it is used of fixing the bounds of seasons. In
Act 2:23 the verb is translated "determinate," with reference to counsel. Here the verbal form might have been adhered to by the translation "determined;" that is to say, in the sense of "settled." In
Rom 1:4 it is translated "declared," where the meaning is that Christ was marked out as the Son of God by His resurrection and that of others (see under
DECLARE). In
Act 10:42; and
17:31 it has its other meaning of "ordain," that is, "to appoint by determined counsel." In
Hbr 4:7, it is translated "limiteth," but preferably in the RV, "defineth," with reference to a certain period; here again it approaches its primary meaning of marking out the bounds of.

4309 proorízō (from
4253 /pró, "before" and
3724 /horízō, "establish boundaries, limits") – properly,
pre-horizon, pre-determine limits (boundaries) predestine.
[
4309 (
proorízō) occurs six times in the NT (eight in the writings of Paul). Since the root (
3724 /horízō) already means "establish boundaries," the added prefix (
pro, "before") makes
4309 (
proorízō) "to
pre-establish boundaries," i.e.
before creation.]
