Isaiah 48:14-16

Common English Bible

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.
¹⁶ Come close to me; listen to this:
    Since the very beginning I haven’t spoken in secret.
    Whenever anything happens, I am there.
    (And now the Lord God has sent me with his spirit.)
