Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 48 of Isaiah. Israel knows Yahweh’s name but has been stubborn. God announces new things to demonstrate that he controls history and does not share his glory with idols. Deliverance from Babylon again appears as an opportunity to listen and obey, while the chapter ends by stating that the wicked have no true peace.

Tretet her zu mir und höret dies! Ich habe es nicht im Verborgenen zuvor geredet; von der Zeit an, da es ward, bin ich da. Und nun sendet mich der Herr, HERR und sein Geist.
Allegaos a mí, oíd esto; desde el principio no hablé en escondido; desde que la cosa se hizo, estuve allí: y ahora el Señor Jehová me envió, y su espíritu.
Approchez-vous de moi, et écoutez! Dès le commencement, je n'ai point parlé en cachette, Dès l'origine de ces choses, j'ai été là. Et maintenant, le Seigneur, l'Eternel, m'a envoyé avec son esprit.
Accostatevi a me, ed ascoltate questo; dal principio io non ho parlato di nascosto; dal tempo che la cosa è stata io vi sono stato; ed ora il Signore Iddio, e il suo Spirito, mi ha mandato.
Chegai-vos a mim, ouvi isto: Não falei em segredo desde o princípio; desde o tempo em que aquilo se fez eu estava ali, e agora o Senhor DEUS me enviou a mim, e o seu Espírito.
你們要接近我來聽這話, 我從起初就未曾在隱密之處說話, 萬事之始,我就在那裏。」 現在,主耶和華差遣了我, 帶著他的靈而來 。
