Isaiah 46:8-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 “Remember this and be brave;[a]
take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 Remember what happened long ago,(A)
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and no one is like Me.
10 I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: My plan will take place,
and I will do all My will.(B)
11 I call a bird of prey[b] from the east,(C)
a man for My purpose from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about.(D)
I have planned it; I will also do it.
12 Listen to me, you hardhearted,
far removed from justice:
13 I am bringing My justice near;(E)
it is not far away,
and My salvation will not delay.
I will put salvation in Zion,
My splendor in Israel.

New Living Translation
8 “Do not forget this! Keep it in mind!
Remember this, you guilty ones.
9 Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
11 I will call a swift bird of prey from the east—
a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding.
I have said what I would do,
and I will do it.
12 “Listen to me, you stubborn people
who are so far from doing right.
13 For I am ready to set things right,
not in the distant future, but right now!
I am ready to save Jerusalem[a]
and show my glory to Israel.
