10 aDeclaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey afrom the east,
The man bwho executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed cI have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
The man bwho executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed cI have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
13 aI bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation bshall not linger.
And I will place csalvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
My salvation bshall not linger.
And I will place csalvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.

What Does Isaiah 46:12 Mean?
Isaiah 46:12
God inspires Isaiah to warn Israel that all their "righteousnesses are like filthy rags," since their sinful attitudes pollute their deeds. The impurity of their motives taint all their prayers, sacrifices, offerings, and praises, thus God deeply detests and abhors them. Like the Laodiceans, they cannot see their true condition (Revelation 3:17).
