Isaiah 48:12-15
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Redeems Jacob
12 “Hear Me, O Jacob, even Israel [a]whom I called;
(A)I am He, (B)I am the first, I am also the last.
13 Also, My hand (C)founded the earth,
And My right hand spread out the heavens;
When I (D)call to them, they stand together.
14 (E)Assemble, all of you, and hear!
(F)Who among them has declared these things?
Yahweh loves him; he will (G)carry out His good pleasure on (H)Babylon,
And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have (I)called him,
I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful.
