Isaiah 46:9

God's power and sovereignty God's faithfulness

⁷ They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.

⁸ Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!

Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.

¹⁰ I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’

¹¹ I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
