Context of Isaiah 48:14
12Hearken unto me, Jacob, and [thou] Israel, my called. I [am] HE; I, the first, and I, the last. 13Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread abroad the heavens: I call unto them, they stand up together. All ye, gather yourselves together, and hear: which among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah hath loved shall execute his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans. 15I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous. 16Come near unto me, hear ye this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
