Isaiah 46:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 Remember the former things from a long time ago,[a]
for I am God and there is none besides me,
God and there is none like me,
10 who from the beginning declares the end,
and from before, things that have not been done,
who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’
and, ‘I will accomplish[b] all my wishes,’[c]
11 who calls a bird of prey from the east,
the man of his[d] plan from a country from afar.
Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being.
I have formed it; indeed I will do it.

Isaiah 46:9-11
New English Translation
9 Remember what I accomplished in antiquity.[a]
Truly I am God, I have no peer;[b]
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 who announces the end from the beginning
and reveals beforehand[c] what has not yet occurred;
who says, ‘My plan will be realized,
I will accomplish what I desire;’
11 who summons an eagle[d] from the east,
from a distant land, one who carries out my plan.
Yes, I have decreed,[e]
yes, I will bring it to pass;
I have formulated a plan,
yes, I will carry it out.
