Isaiah 48:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² So listen to me, descendants of Jacob!
    I called you to belong to me, you Israelite people.
I am the only One.
    I am the first, and I am also the last.
¹³ I created the earth with my own hand.
    With my right hand, I hung up the sky like a curtain.
When I call to the stars,
    they all appear in their places.
¹⁴ All of you, come together and listen to me.
Not one of your idols has said
    what will happen now.
I, the Lord, have chosen a friend to attack Babylon.
    He will do what I want.
He will have the power to punish the Babylonians.
