Isaiah 48:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Assemble, all of you, and listen.
    Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord has loved him;
    he will do His pleasure on Babylon,
    and His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
¹⁵ I, even I, have spoken,
    and I have called him;
I have brought him,
    and his way will prosper.

I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
    from the time that it was, there I am.

And now the Lord God has sent me
    and His Spirit.
