God Declares His Eternal Sovereignty

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying,
My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
Isaiah 48:3–5 (KJV)
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them;
I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee:
lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them…
