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.
55:5 Look, you will summon nations 3 you did not previously know;
nations 4 that did not previously know you will run to you,
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, 5
for he bestows honor on you.
