Isaiah 46:8-13

MSG

NIV

8 "Think about this. Wrap your minds around it. This is serious business, rebels. Take it to heart.
8 “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
9 Remember your history, your long and rich history. I am God, the only God you've had or ever will have - incomparable, irreplaceable -
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
10 From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, 'I'm in this for the long haul, I'll do exactly what I set out to do,'
10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’
11 Calling that eagle, Cyrus, out of the east, from a far country the man I chose to help me. I've said it, and I'll most certainly do it. I've planned it, so it's as good as done.
11 From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.
12 "Now listen to me: You're a hardheaded bunch and hard to help.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness.
13 I'm ready to help you right now. Deliverance is not a long-range plan. Salvation isn't on hold. I'm putting salvation to work in Zion now, and glory in Israel.
13 I am bringing my righteousness near, it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor to Israel.
