Isaiah 48:12-15
English Standard Version
The Lord's Call to Israel
12 “Listen to me, O Jacob,
and Israel, whom I called!
I am he; (A)I am the first,
and I am the last.
13 My hand (B)laid the foundation of the earth,
and my right hand (C)spread out the heavens;
(D)when I call to them,
they stand forth together.
14 “Assemble, all of you, and listen!
(E)Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
(F)he shall perform his purpose on Babylon,
and his arm shall be against (G)the Chaldeans.
15 (H)I, even I, have spoken and called him;
I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.
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.
