Isaiah 41:21-29 - The Futility Of Idols
21 Bring near your cause, Will say Jehovah; draw near your strong defences, will the king of Jacob say: 22 They shall draw near and announce to us what shall happen: shewed they the former things, what they were, and we will set our heart, and we shall know their latter state; or did we hear things coming? 23 Announce the things coming hereafter, and we shall know that ye are God: also will ye do good or will ye do evil, and we shall look around for help and see together. 24 Behold, ye are from nothing, and your work no more: an abomination he will choose in you.
25 I roused up from the north, and he will come: from the rising of the sun he shall call upon my name: and he shall come upon prefects as clay, and as the potter will tread down the mud. 26 Who announced from the beginning, and we shall know? and before, and we shall say, He is just; also none announcing; also none hearing; also none heard your words. 27 The first to Zion, Behold, behold them: and to Jerusalem I will give him announcing good news. 28 And I shall see, and no man; and from these, and no counselor; and I shall ask them, and they will not turn back a word. 29 Behold, all of them, nothing; their works are no more: wind and emptiness are their libations.
