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.”

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.’”

³ I will give you the ^[a](A)treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
Yahweh, the God of Israel, who ^(B)calls you by your name.
