Bible Question (short): sending or being sent?

Question (full): Isa 48:16 (ESV)
16 Draw near to me, hear this:
from the beginning I have not spoken in secret,
from the time it came to be I have been there."
And now the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit."

Isa 48:16 (KJV)

16 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.
KJV

For those original language scholars, which translation best represents the original language?

For others, please do not enter into a debate regarding which translation if "the best". Not my concern here even If I believed an answer.

I'm engaged in a study and wanted to know if the Spirit participated in the sending (as the KJV indicates) or was also being sent (as the ESV indicates).

Thanks in advance for your responses.

God bless,
Jeff
