See, the earlier things have come to pass, new ones I now declare; Before they spring forth I announce them to you.
I will give his son one tribe, that David my servant may always have a holding before me in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen, to set my name there.
See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the wilderness I make a way, in the wasteland, rivers.
Things of the past I declared long ago, they went forth from my mouth, I announced them; then suddenly I took action and they came to be.
