(A)Remember this, and be [a]assured;
(B)Recall it to [b]mind, you (C)wrongdoers.
Remember the (D)former things long past,
For I am God, and there is (E)no other;
I am God, and there is (F)no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘(G)My plan will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;
11 Calling a (H)bird of prey from the (I)east,
The man of [c]My purpose from a distant country.
Truly I have (J)spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, I will certainly do it.

12 (K)Listen to Me, you (L)stubborn-minded,
Who are (M)far from righteousness.
13 I (N)bring near My righteousness, it is not far off;
And My salvation will not delay.
And I will grant (O)salvation in Zion,
And My (P)glory for Israel.

    you who are far from deliverance:(E)

What I have said, that I will bring about;

12 Listen(N) to me, you stubborn-hearted,(O)
    you who are now far from my righteousness.(P)
