11. I do this for myself, for my own sake.I will not let people speak evil against me,and I will not let some god take my glory.
12. “People of Jacob, listen to me.People of Israel, I have called you to be my people.I am God;I am the beginning and the end.
13. I made the earth with my own hands.With my right hand I spread out the skies.When I call them,they come together before me.”
14. All of you, come together and listen.None of the gods said these things would happen.The Lord has chosen someoneto attack the Babylonians;he will carry out his wishes against Babylon.
