Context of Isaiah 48:14

12“Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last. 13Surely My hand founded the earth, And My right hand spread out the heavens; When I call to them, they stand together. Assemble, all of you, and listen! Who among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure on Babylon, And His arm will be against the Chaldeans. 15I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have called him, I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful. 16Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
