²² Let them bring them, and ^(A)tell us
    what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
    that we may consider them,
that we may know their outcome;
    or declare to us the things to come.

^21 (A)Declare and present your case;
    let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
    Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
    And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God ^(B)and a Savior;
    there is none besides me.

^10 (A)declaring the end from the beginning
    and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ^(B)‘My counsel shall stand,
    and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

^7 (A)Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.^[a]
    Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
    Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.

^9 (A)All the nations gather together,
    and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
    and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
    and let them hear and say, It is true.
^10 (B)“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and ^(C)my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
^(D)Before me no god was formed,
    nor shall there be any after me.
^11 (E)I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.
¹² I declared and saved and proclaimed,
    when there was no strange god among you;
    and ^(F)you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.

⁹ Behold, the former things have come to pass,
    ^(A)and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
    I tell you of them.”
