13 My hand (A)laid the foundation of the earth,
    and my right hand (B)spread out the heavens;
(C)when I call to them,
    they stand forth together.

14 “Assemble, all of you, and listen!
    (D)Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
    (E)he shall perform his purpose on Babylon,
    and his arm shall be against (F)the Chaldeans.
15 (G)I, even I, have spoken and called him;
    I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.
