“Just as I have intended, so it will occur,

And just as I have decided, that is what will come true.

10 From the beginning I foretell the outcome,

And from long ago the things that have not yet been done.+

I say, ‘My decision* will stand,+

And I will do whatever I please.’+

20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob,

Loyal love to Abraham,

As you swore to our forefathers from the days of old.+
