Isaiah 48:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Assemble, all of you, and listen!
    Who among the idols has revealed what will happen—
that he whom I love^[a] will do my will
    against Babylon and the Chaldeans?
¹⁵ I myself have spoken and summoned him;
    I have brought him,
    and his mission will succeed.
¹⁶ Draw near to me and hear this:
    From the very beginning
    I have not spoken in secret.
From the time it came to be, I have been there.
    Now the Lord God has sent me and his Spirit.
