8 Now keep this in mind,you sinful people.And don't ever forget it.
9 I alone am God!There are no other gods;no one is like me.Think about what happenedmany years ago.
10 From the very beginning,I told what would happenlong before it took place.I kept my word
11 and broughtsomeone from a distant landto do what I wanted.He attacked from the east,like a hawk swooping down.Now I will keep my promiseand do what I planned.
12 You people are stubbornand far from being safe,so listen to me.
13 I will soon come to save you.I am not far awayand will waste no time;I take pride in Israeland will save Jerusalem.
