Isaiah 48:17

“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear!

Who among them has declared these things?

He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon,

and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.

I, even I, have spoken.

Yes, I have called him.

I have brought him

and he shall make his way prosperous.

“Come near to me and hear this:

“From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;

from the time that it happened, I was there.”

Now the Lord GOD has sent me

with his Spirit.

Oh that you had listened to my commandments!

Then your peace would have been like a river

and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Your offspring also would have been as the sand

and the descendants of your body like its grains.

His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”

Leave Babylon!

Flee from the Chaldeans!

With the sound of joyful shouting announce this,

tell it even to the end of the earth;

say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
