Isaiah 41:21-24
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
Isaiah 41:21-24
New King James Version
The Futility of Idols
21 “Present your case,” says the Lord.
“Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the (A)King of Jacob.
22 “Let(B) them bring forth and show us what will happen;
Let them show the (C)former things, what they were,
That we may [a]consider them,
And know the latter end of them;
Or declare to us things to come.
23 (D)Show the things that are to come hereafter,
That we may know that you are gods;
Yes, (E)do good or do evil,
That we may be dismayed and see it together.
24 Indeed (F)you are nothing,
And your work is nothing;
He who chooses you is an abomination.
