Isaiah 41:27

God Helps Israel

²⁶ Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know?
Or from former times, that we may say, “He is right!”?
Surely there was no one who declared,
Surely there was no one who proclaimed,
Surely there was no one who heard your words.
²⁷ “Formerly I said to Zion, ‘Behold, here they are.’
And to Jerusalem, ‘I will give a messenger of good news.’
²⁸ “But when I look, there is no one,
And there is no counselor among them
Who, if I ask, can give an answer.
