Isaiah 41:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶ “Who told us about this before it happened
    so that we could say he was right?
None of your idols told us anything.
    They didn’t say a word,
    and they cannot hear anything you say.
²⁷ I, the Lord, was the first one to tell Zion about these things.
    I sent a messenger to Jerusalem to say,
    ‘Look, your people are coming back!’”

²⁸ I looked at those false gods.
    Not one of them said anything.
    They had no advice to offer.
I asked them questions,
    but they didn’t say a word.
