Isaiah 46:11

Babylon's Idols

¹⁰ I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: My plan will take place,
and I will do all My will.
¹¹ I call a bird of prey from the east,
a man for My purpose from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about.
I have planned it; I will also do it.
¹² Listen to me, you hardhearted,
far removed from justice:
