8. “Remember this and stand firm,recall it to mind, you transgressors,
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 beginningand from ancient times things not yet done,saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11. calling a bird of prey from the east,the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;I have purposed, and I will do it.
12. “Listen to me, you stubborn of heart,you who are far from righteousness:
13. I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,and my salvation will not delay; I will put salvation in Zion,for Israel my glory.”
