'Predict' in the Bible

‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination [using omens or witchcraft] or soothsaying.

“But when I look [on the pagan prophets and priests], there is no one [who could predict these events],And there is no counselor among them,Who, if I ask, can give an answer.

All the nations have gathered togetherSo that the peoples may be assembled.Who among them (the idolaters) can predict this [that Judah would return from captivity]And proclaim to us the former events?Let them provide their witnesses so that they may be justified,Or let them hear and say [in acknowledgement], “It is the truth.”

This was to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to indicate by what manner of death He was going to die.
