Making known acharim (end-times things) from reshit (the beginning),
and mikedem (from ancient times) the things that have not yet happened,
saying: My etza (counsel, purpose, plan) shall stand,
and I will do all My pleasure;
Calling a bird of prey from the mizrach (east),
the ish that executeth My etza (counsel, purpose, plan) from a far country;
yes, I have spoken it, I will indeed bring it to pass;
I have purposed it, I will also do it.
