46:11 who summons an eagle 1 from the east,
from a distant land, one who carries out my plan.
Yes, I have decreed, 2
yes, I will bring it to pass;
I have formulated a plan,
yes, I will carry it out.
46:13 I am bringing my deliverance near, it is not far away;
I am bringing my salvation near, 3 it does not wait.
I will save Zion; 4
I will adorn Israel with my splendor.” 5
