    “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob.
²² “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen!
    Declare the former things, what they are,
    that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them;
    or show us things to come.
²³ Declare the things that are to come hereafter,
    that we may know that you are gods.

    that we may be dismayed,
    and see it together.
²⁴ Behold, you are nothing,
    and your work is nothing.
    He who chooses you is an abomination.
