8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
