13 My hand founded the earth;
    my strong hand spread out the heavens.
    When I call to them, they all stand up.
14 Gather yourselves, all of you, and listen.
    Who among you announced these things?
        “The Lord loves him.
        He will do what God wants with Babylon
        and with the descendants[a] of Chaldea.”
15 I, I have spoken and told him
    the things that will happen to him;
    I will make him succeed.
