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.’+
11 I am calling a bird of prey from the sunrise,*+
From a distant land the man to carry out my decision.*+
I have spoken, and I will bring it about.
I have purposed it, and I will also carry it out.+
