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,’ ‡

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. ‡
