⁷ Who, like me, can announce the future?
Let him say so and make a case before me,^(A)
since I have established an ancient people.
Let these gods declare^[a] the coming things,
and what will take place.
⁸ Do not be startled or afraid.
Have I not told you and declared it long ago?
You are my witnesses!^(B)
Is there any God but me?^(C)
There is no other Rock;^(D) I do not know any.

²¹ Speak up and present your case^[a](A)—
yes, let them consult each other.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, the Lord?
There is no other God but me,
a righteous God and Savior;^(B)
there is no one except me.^(C)

¹⁰ I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: my plan will take place,
and I will do all my will.^(A)
