⁹ Behold, the ^(A)former things have come to pass;
Now I declare ^(B)new things;
Before they spring forth I cause you to hear them.”

⁹ All the nations have ^(A)gathered together
So that the peoples may be assembled.
Who among them can ^(B)declare this
And make us hear the former things?
Let them present ^(C)their witnesses ^(D)that they may be justified,
Or let them hear and say, “It is true.”

⁷ Who is like Me? ^(A)Let him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
^[a]From the time that I established the ancient ^[b]people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
⁸ Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
^(B)Have I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And ^(C)you are My witnesses.
Is there any God ^(D)besides Me,
Or is there any other ^(E)Rock?
I know of none.’”
