Isaiah 48:12-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Listen to me, O Jacob,
and Israel, whom I called:
I am he; I am the first,
and I am the last.(A)
13 My hand laid the foundation of the earth,
and my right hand spread out the heavens;
when I summon them,
they stand at attention.(B)
14 Assemble, all of you, and hear!
Who among them has declared these things?
The one the Lord loves shall perform his purpose against Babylon,
and his arm shall be against the Chaldeans.(C)
15 I, even I, have spoken and called him;
I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.(D)
Isaiah 48:12-15
Common English Bible
12 Listen to me, Jacob;
Israel, whom I called:
I am the one;
I am the first and I am the last.
13 My hand founded the earth;
my strong hand spread out the heavens.
When I call to them, they all stand up.
14 Gather yourselves, all of you, and listen.
Who among you announced these things?
“The Lord loves him.
He will do what God wants with Babylon
and with the descendants[a] of Chaldea.”
15 I, I have spoken and told him
the things that will happen to him;
I will make him succeed.
