Isaiah 41:21-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ Set forth your case, says the Lord;
    bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
²² Let them bring them, and tell us
    what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
    so that we may consider them,
and that we may know their outcome;
    or declare to us the things to come.
²³ Tell us what is to come hereafter,
    that we may know that you are gods;
do good, or do harm,
    that we may be afraid and terrified.
²⁴ You, indeed, are nothing
    and your work is nothing at all;
    whoever chooses you is an abomination.
