Isaiah 46:8-13
English Standard Version
8 “Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, (A)you transgressors,
9 remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 (B)declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, (C)‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11 (D)calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
(E)I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it.
12 “Listen to me, you stubborn of heart,
you who are far from righteousness:
13 (F)I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,
and my salvation will not delay;
(G)I will put salvation in Zion,
for Israel my glory.”
Isaiah 46:8-13
Common English Bible
Remember past events
8 Remember this and take courage;
take it to heart, you rebels.
9 Remember the prior things—from long ago;
I am God, and there’s no other.
I am God! There’s none like me,
10 who tells the end at the beginning,
from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, “My plan will stand;
all that I decide I will do,”
11 I call a bird of prey from the east,
a man from a distant land for my plan.
As surely as I have spoken, I’ll make it happen;
I have planned, and yes, I’ll do it.
12 Listen to me, you bullheaded people
who are far from victory:
13 I’m bringing my victory near—it isn’t far,
and my salvation—it won’t delay.
I will establish salvation in Zion
and grant my splendor to Israel.
