Isaiah 41:23

God Helps Israel

²² Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place;
As for the former events, declare what they were,
That we may consider them and know their outcome.
Or announce to us what is coming;
²³ Declare the things that are going to come afterward,
That we may know that you are gods;
Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.
²⁴ Behold, you are of no account,
And your work amounts to nothing;
He who chooses you is an abomination.

Do Good

Filled with Fear
