Isaias

8 Remember this, and stand firm; recall it to mind, O ye rebels.

9 Remember the first things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; God, and there is none like me.

10 Declaring the after-things from the beginning, and from of old what is not done; saying, My purpose shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of his counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken, yea, I will bring it to pass: I have purposed it, I will also do it.

12 Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness;

13 I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will give in Zion salvation, for Israel my glory.

XLVII. 1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O Virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the earth, there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldaeans; for thou shaltno more be (one) they call tender and delicate.

2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; take off thy veil, lift up thy train, uncover the leg, pass through rivers.
