"Listen to me, Ya'akov; Isra'el, whom I have called: I am he who is first; I am also the last.
13
My hand laid the foundation of the earth, my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summoned them, at once they rose into being.
14
"All of you, assemble and listen: which of you has foretold what is coming? ADONAI's friend will do his will against Bavel, using his arm against the Kasdim.
15

16
"Come close to me, and listen to this: since the beginning I have not spoken in secret, since the time things began to be, I have been there; and now Adonai ELOHIM has sent me and his Spirit."
