Isaiah 46:8-13
World English Bible
8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men.
Bring it to mind again, 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 I declare the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times things that are not yet done.
I say: My counsel will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
11 I call a ravenous bird from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken.
I will also bring it to pass.
I have planned.
I will also do it.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,
who are far from righteousness!
13 I bring my righteousness near.
It is not far off,
and my salvation will not wait.
I will grant salvation to Zion,
my glory to Israel.
Isaiah 46:8-13
International Standard Version
8 “Remember this, and stand firm;
take it again to heart, you rebels.
9 Remember the former things from long ago,
Because I am God, and there is no one else;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I declare from the beginning things to follow,[a]
and from ancient times things that have not yet been done;
saying, ‘My purpose will stand,
and he[b] will accomplish everything that I please.’
11 I am calling a bird of prey from the east,
and from a far country a man with his[c] purpose.
Indeed, I’ve spoken;
I will certainly make it happen;
I’ve planned it;[d]
and I will certainly carry it out.
12 “Listen to me, you hard-hearted,
you who are far removed from righteousness:
13 My righteousness is brought near[e] and[f] it’s not far off,
and my salvation won’t delay.
I’ll[g] grant salvation in Zion,
and[h] to Israel, my glory.”
