Yahweh Frees Israel

12 “Listen to me, Jacob,
    and Israel, whom I called:[a]
I am he. I am the first;
    also I am the last.
13 Indeed, my hand founded the earth,
    and my right hand spread out the heavens;
        when I summon[b] them, they stand in position together.
14 Assemble, all of you, and hear!
    Who among them declared these things?
Yahweh loves him;
    he shall perform[c] his wish against Babylon
    and his arm against the Chaldeans.[d]
15 I, I myself, I have spoken!
    Indeed, I have called him.
I have brought him,
    and he will be successful in his way.
