Isaiah 48:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹² Listen to me, O Jacob,
    and Israel, whom I called:
I am He; I am the first,
    and I am the last.
¹³ My hand laid the foundation of the earth,
    and my right hand spread out the heavens;
when I summon them,
    they stand at attention.

¹⁴ Assemble, all of you, and hear!
    Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
    he shall perform his purpose on Babylon,
    and his arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
