13 Indeed, my hand founded the earth,
    and my right hand spread out the heavens;
        when I summon[a] them, they stand in position together.

    he shall perform[b] his wish against Babylon
    and his arm against the Chaldeans.[c]

    Indeed, I have called him.
I have brought him,
    and he will be successful in his way.
