12 ‘Listen to me, Jacob,
and Israel, the one called by me:
I am he; I am the first,
I am also the last.(A)
13 My own hand founded the earth,
and my right hand spread out the heavens;(B)
when I summoned them,
they stood up together.
14 All of you, assemble and listen!
Who among the idols[a] has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;[b]
he will accomplish his will against Babylon,(C)
and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
