Isaiah 48:14 CPDV

¹²  Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call. I am the same, I am the first, and I am the last.

¹³  Also, my hand has founded the earth, and my right hand has measured the heavens. I will call them, and they will stand together.

¹⁴  Gather together, all of you, and listen. Who among them has announced these things? The Lord has loved him; he will do his will with Babylon, and his arm is upon the Chaldeans.

¹⁵  I am, I have spoken, and I have called him. I have led him forward, and his way has been straight.

¹⁶  Draw near to me, and listen to this. From the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the time before it happened, I was there. And now, the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.
