Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.”

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, Yahweh, will do this quickly in its time.”
