21 “Bring near your case,” Yahweh says.
“Bring forward your mighty arguments,”
The (A)King of Jacob says.
22 (B)Let them bring it forth and declare to us what is going to take place;
As for the (C)former events, declare what they were,
That we may establish our heart on them and know their outcome.
Or cause us to hear of what is coming;
23 (D)Declare the things that are to come afterward,
That we may know that you are gods;
Indeed, (E)do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.
24 Behold, (F)you are nothing,
And (G)your work is non-existent;
He who chooses you is an (H)abomination.
