⁸ “Remember this, and show yourselves men.
    Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
⁹ Remember the former things of old:
    for I am God, and there is no other.
    I am God, and there is none like me.
¹⁰ I declare the end from the beginning,
    and from ancient times things that are not yet done.
I say: My counsel will stand,
    and I will do all that I please.
¹¹ I call a ravenous bird from the east,
    the man of my counsel from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken.
    I will also bring it to pass.
I have planned.
    I will also do it.

¹² Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,
    who are far from righteousness!
¹³ I bring my righteousness near.
    It is not far off,
    and my salvation will not wait.
I will grant salvation to Zion,
    my glory to Israel.
