The Futility of Idols

21 Set forth your case, says the Lord;
    bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
22 Let them bring them, and (A)tell us
    what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
    that we may consider them,
that we may know their outcome;
    or declare to us the things to come.
23 (B)Tell us what is to come hereafter,
    that we may know that you are gods;
(C)do good, or do harm,
    that we may be dismayed and terrified.[a]
