New King James Version
Isaiah 41:21-23
New King James Version
The Futility of Idols
21 “Present your case,” says the Lord.
“Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the (A)King of Jacob.
22 “Let(B) them bring forth and show us what will happen;
Let them show the (C)former things, what they were,
That we may [a]consider them,
And know the latter end of them;
Or declare to us things to come.
23 (D)Show the things that are to come hereafter,
That we may know that you are gods;
Yes, (E)do good or do evil,
That we may be dismayed and see it together.
