Isaiah 41:21-29 - The Futility Of Idols
21 Produce your case, says LORD. Bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob. 22 Let them bring forth, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them, or show us things to come. 23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods. Yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work is of naught. An abomination is he who chooses you.
25 I have raised up him from the north, and he has come, him who calls upon my name from the rising of the sun. And he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treads clay. 26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know, and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] right? Yea, there is none who declares. Yea, there is none who shows. Yea, there is none who hears your words. 27 First to Zion. Behold, behold them, and I will give to Jerusalem him who brings good news. 28 And when I look, there is no man. Even among them there is no counselor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word. 29 Behold, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
