13 With my own hand
I created the earth
    and stretched out the sky.
They obey my every command.

The Lord Speaks to the Nations

14 Gather around me, all of you!
    Listen to what I say.
Did any of your idols
    predict this would happen?
Did they say that my friend[a]
would do what I want done
    to Babylonia?[b]
15 I was the one who chose him.
I have brought him this far,
    and he will be successful.
