6“Those who lavish gold from the purse
         And weigh silver on the scale
         Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
         They bow down, indeed they worship it.

7“They lift it upon the shoulder and carry it;
         They set it in its place and it stands there.
         It does not move from its place.
         Though one may cry to it, it cannot answer;
         It cannot deliver him from his distress.

8“Remember this, and be assured;
         Recall it to mind, you transgressors.

9“Remember the former things long past,
         For I am God, and there is no other;
         I am God, and there is no one like Me,

10Declaring the end from the beginning,
         And from ancient times things which have not been done,
         Saying, ‘My purpose will be established,
         And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;

11Calling a bird of prey from the east,
         The man of My purpose from a far country.
         Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
         I have planned it, surely I will do it.

12“Listen to Me, you stubborn-minded,
         Who are far from righteousness.

13“I bring near My righteousness, it is not far off;
         And My salvation will not delay.
         And I will grant salvation in Zion,
         And My glory for Israel.
