Isaiah 48:12-14
Good News Translation

Cyrus, the Lord's Chosen Leader

12 (A)The Lord says,

“Listen to me, Israel, the people I have called!
I am God, the first, the last, the only God!
13 My hands made the earth's foundations
    and spread the heavens out.
When I summon earth and sky,
    they come at once and present themselves.

14 “Assemble and listen, all of you!
None of the gods could predict
    that the man I have chosen would attack Babylon;
    he will do what I want him to do.
