Isaiah 46:8-13

The Voice

⁸    Remember that—and don’t be tempted to conform!
        Think about it, you rebels.
⁹    Remember the old days. For I am God; there is no other.
        I am God; there are no other gods like Me.
¹⁰    From the beginning I declare how things will end;
        from times long past, I tell what is yet to be, saying:
    “My intentions will come to pass.
        I will make things happen as I determine they should.”
¹¹    I am the one who called Cyrus, the bird of prey from the east;
        from a land far away I summoned him to do what I intend.
    My word went out, and I will see it done.
        My plan has been made, and I will see it through.

¹²    Listen closely, you strong-willed people
        who have veered far from the right path.
¹³    It won’t be long until I make things right;
        My salvation is getting closer and closer; it won’t be delayed.
    I am ready to rescue Zion, My chosen place,
        and display My beauty and splendor to Israel, My chosen people.
