“Remember this and stand firm,
    recall it to mind, (A)you transgressors,
    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.”

“Remember this and be brave;[a]
take it to heart, you transgressors!
Remember what happened long ago,(A)
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and no one is like Me.
10 I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: My plan will take place,
and I will do all My will.(B)
11 I call a bird of prey[b] from the east,(C)
a man for My purpose from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about.(D)
I have planned it; I will also do it.
12 Listen to me, you hardhearted,
far removed from justice:
13 I am bringing My justice near;(E)
it is not far away,
and My salvation will not delay.
I will put salvation in Zion,
My splendor in Israel.
