9  remember the former things of old;

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me,

10  ^ydeclaring the end from the beginning

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, ^z‘My counsel shall stand,

and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

7  I form light and create darkness;

I make well-being and ^acreate calamity;

I am the Lord, who does all these things.
