The former things of old I have declared. And they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard. I did them suddenly, and they came to pass:
Let them come and tell us all things that are to come, tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them, and shall know the latter end of them. And tell us the things that are to come.
Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning? Who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
All the nations are assembled together and the tribes are gathered. Who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message: and shall return to his own country: and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own country.
When thou wast mad against me, thy pride came up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose and a bit between thy lips: and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth and is found wanting in a high wall. For the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
