“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.”
