8 “Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other;I am God, and no one is like Me.
10 I declare the end from the beginning,and from long ago what is not yet done,saying: My plan will take place,and I will do all My will.
11 I call a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far country.Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about. I have planned it; I will also do it.
12 Listen to me, you hardhearted,far removed from justice:
13 I am bringing My justice near; it is not far away,and My salvation will not delay.I will put salvation in Zion,My splendor in Israel.
