10. From the beginning I predicted the outcome;long ago I foretold what would happen.I said that my plans would never fail,that I would do everything I intended to do.
11. I am calling a man to come from the east;he will swoop down like a hawkand accomplish what I have planned.I have spoken, and it will be done.
12. “Listen to me, you stubborn peoplewho think that victory is far away.
13. I am bringing the day of victory near —it is not far away at all.My triumph will not be delayed.I will save Jerusalemand bring honour to Israel there.”
