Context of Isaiah 46:9
7They lift the idol onto their shoulders and they carry it home. They put it in its place and it stands there. It cannot move anywhere else. If someone calls out to it for help, it does not answer. It cannot save anyone from their trouble. 8Remember this, you people who do not obey me. Think about it carefully. Remember all the things that I did a long time ago. I am God. There is nobody else like me. There is no other God, except me. 10From the beginning, I say what will happen at the end. Long ago, I spoke about future things that have not yet happened. I say this: “My purpose will not change. I will do everything that I want to do.” 11Now I will call somebody to come from the east. He will come down quickly, like an eagle that catches small birds to eat. He will come from a country that is far away. He will do for me what I want to do. Yes, I will surely do what I have decided to do. I have given the command, and I will cause it to happen.
