9. Remember the former things of old,For I am God, and there is no other;I am God, and there is none like Me,
10. Declaring the end from the beginning,And from ancient times things that are not yet done,Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,And I will do all My pleasure,’
11. Calling a bird of prey from the east,The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.Indeed I have spoken it;I will also bring it to pass.I have purposed it;I will also do it.
12. “Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,Who are far from righteousness:
13. I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;My salvation shall not linger.And I will place salvation in Zion,For Israel My glory.
