Isaiah 48:12-16

Tree of Life Version

¹² Listen to Me, Jacob,
    Israel whom I called:
I am He;
I am the first; I am also the last.^[a]
13 Surely My hand founded the earth,
My right hand spread out the heavens.
When I call to them, they stand together.
¹⁴ Assemble, all of you, and listen!
Who among them foretold these things?
Adonai loves him.
He will do His will against Babylon—
His arm against the Chaldeans.
¹⁵ I, I have spoken, yes I called him.
I will bring him, so his ways will succeed.
¹⁶ Draw near to Me, hear this:
Since the beginning, I have not spoken in secret.
From the time it existed, I was there.
So now Adonai Elohim has sent Me,
    and His Ruach.”^[b]
