9 "Remember what happened in the past. Think about what took place long ago. I am God. There is no other God. I am God. There is no one like me.
10 Before something even happens, I announce how it will end. In fact, from times long ago I announced what was still to come. I say, 'My plan will succeed. I will do anything I want to do.'
11 I will send for a man from the east to carry out my plan. From a land far away, he will come like a bird that eats dead bodies. I will bring about what I have said. I will do what I have planned.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn people. Pay attention, you who refuse to do what is right.
