yes, I have called him.
I will bring him,
and he will succeed in his mission.

16“Come near me and listen to this:
“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.

your children like its numberless grains;
their name would never be cut off
nor destroyed from before me.”

he made water flow for them from the rock;
he split the rock
and water gushed out.

22“There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
