10 From the beginning, I say what will happen at the end.
    Long ago, I spoke about future things that have not yet happened.
I say this: “My purpose will not change.
    I will do everything that I want to do.”
11 Now I will call somebody to come from the east.
He will come down quickly,
    like an eagle that catches small birds to eat.
He will come from a country that is far away.
    He will do for me what I want to do.
Yes, I will surely do what I have decided to do.
I have given the command,
    and I will cause it to happen.
12 Listen to me, you people who refuse to obey me.
    You choose not to do anything that is right.

    you who are now far from my righteousness.(K)
