Isaiah 48:14-16

14All of you, come together and listen to me. Not one of your idols has said what will happen now. I, the Lord, have chosen a friend to attack Babylon. He will do what I want. He will have the power to punish the Babylonians.

15Yes, that is what I have commanded. I have called him to do this work. I have shown him what he must do, and he will do it!

16Come near to me! Listen to my message! From the beginning, I have not spoken secretly. When these things happen, I will already be there.’ Now the Almighty Lord has sent me, with the power of his Spirit.
