Isaiah 41:21-29 - The Futility Of Idols
21 Bring near your cause, says Jehovah; bring out your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob. 22 Let them bring them out, and tell us what shall happen; let them reveal the former things, what they are, that we may look on them and know the final end of them; or declare to us things to come. 23 Reveal the near things after this, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, so that we may be amazed and see together. 24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the sunrise; he will call on My name. And he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter tramples clay. 26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? And beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? Yea, no one declares; yea, no one proclaims; yea, no one hears your words. 27 I first shall say to Zion, Behold! Behold them! And I will give to Jerusalem one who bears good news. 28 For I looked, and there was no man; and of these no counselor was, that I might ask and they could answer. 29 Behold, they are all evil; their works are nothing; their images are wind and vanity.
