Isaiah 41:21-24

New Century Version

²¹ The Lord says, “Present your case.”
    The King of Jacob says, “Tell me your arguments.
²² Bring in your idols to tell us
    what is going to happen.
Have them tell us what happened in the beginning.
    Then we will think about these things,
    and we will know how they will turn out.
Or tell us what will happen in the future.
²³ Tell us what is coming next
    so we will believe that you are gods.
Do something, whether it is good or bad,
    and make us afraid.
²⁴ You gods are less than nothing;
    you can’t do anything.
    Those who worship you should be hated.
