Isaiah 41:25-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ “I have raised up someone from the north, and he has come.
He will call on my name from the east.
He will attack rulers as if they were mud,
as if he were treading on clay like a potter.
²⁶ Who revealed this from the beginning so that we could know it?
Who revealed this from the past so that we could say that he was right?
No one revealed it.
No one announced it.
No one heard your words.
²⁷ I was the first to tell Zion, ‘Look, here they are.’
I gave Jerusalem a messenger with the good news.
²⁸ When I look, there is no one.
There is no one to advise them.
When I ask them a question,
will they give an answer?
²⁹ All of them are nothing.^[a]
They can’t do anything.
Their statues are nothing but air.”
