Remember what I accomplished in antiquity.[a]
Truly I am God, I have no peer;[b]
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 who announces the end from the beginning
and reveals beforehand[c] what has not yet occurred;
who says, ‘My plan will be realized,
I will accomplish what I desire;’
11 who summons an eagle[d] from the east,
from a distant land, one who carries out my plan.
Yes, I have decreed,[e]
yes, I will bring it to pass;
I have formulated a plan,
yes, I will carry it out.
