And when he had broken downª°¹ the altarsª and the groves,ª and had beatenª° the graven imagesª into powder,ª° and cut downª° all¹ the idolsª throughout all¹ the landª of Israel,ª he returnedª° to Jerusalem.ª" {2Ch 34:4-7} + "Behold,¹ the former thingsª are come to pass,ª° and new thingsª do I¹ declare:ª° before¹ they spring forthª° I tellª° you of them." {Isa 42:9} + "That confirmethª° the wordª of his servant,ª and performethª° the counselª of his messengers;ª that saithª° to Jerusalem,ª Thou shalt be inhabited;ª° and to the citiesª of Judah,ª Ye shall be built,ª° and I will raise upª° the decayed placesª thereof: ... That saithª° of Cyrus,ª [He is] my shepherd,ª° and shall performª° all¹ my pleasure:ª even sayingª° to Jerusalem,ª Thou shalt be built;ª° and to the temple,ª Thy foundation shall be laid.ª°" {Isa 44:26-28} + "Declaringª° the endª from the beginning,ª¹ and from ancient timesª¹ [the things] that¹ are not¹ [yet] done,ª° saying,ª° My counselª shall stand,ª° and I will doª° all¹ my pleasure:ª" {Isa 46:10} + "I have even from the beginningª¹ declaredª° [it] to thee; before¹ it came to passª° I shewedª° [it] thee: lest¹ thou shouldest say,ª° Mine idolª hath doneª° them, and my graven image,ª and my molten image,ª hath commandedª° them. ... They are createdª° now,¹ and not¹ from the beginning;¹¹ even beforeª the dayª when thou heardestª° them not;¹ lest¹ thou shouldest say,ª° Behold,¹ I knewª° them." {Isa 48:5-7}
