9. All the nations are gathered together;the peoples are assembled.Which of them announced this?Who predicted to us the past events?Let them bring their witnesses as a defense;let them hear and say, "It’s true!"
10. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, my servant, whom I chose,so that you would know and believe meand understand that I am the one.Before me no god was formed;after me there has been no other.
11. I, I am the Lord, and there is no savior besides me.
12. I announced, I saved, I proclaimed,not some stranger among you.You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.
13. From the dawn of time, I am the one.No one can escape my power.I act, and who can undo it?
14. The Lord your redeemer,the holy one of Israel, says,For your sake, I have sent an army to Babylon,and brought down all the bars,turning the Chaldeans’ singing into a lament.
15. I am the Lord, your holy one,Israel’s creator, your king!
