Isaiah 48:15-17

New International Reader's Version

“From the first time I said Cyrus was coming,
    I did not do it in secret.
    When he comes, I will be there.”

The Lord and King has filled me with his Spirit.
    People of Israel, he has sent me to you.

¹⁷ The Lord is the Holy One of Israel.
    He sets his people free. He says to them,
“I am the Lord your God.
    I teach you what is best for you.
    I direct you in the way you should go.
