- "Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
- Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

- "Remember this, and be assured; Recall it to mind, you transgressors.
- "Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me,
- Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure';
