^5 (A)I declared them to you from of old,
    before they came to pass I announced them to you,
lest you should say, ^(B)‘My idol did them,
    my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’

^10 (A)declaring the end from the beginning
    and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ^(B)‘My counsel shall stand,
    and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
^11 (C)calling a bird of prey from the east,
    the man of my counsel from a far country.
^(D)I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
    I have purposed, and I will do it.

^7 (A)Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.^[a]
    Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
    Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
⁸ Fear not, nor be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old and declared it?
    ^(B)And you are my witnesses!
^(C)Is there a God besides me?
    There is no ^(D)Rock; I know not any.”
