Isaiah 41:25-29
World English Bible
25 “I have raised up one from the north, and he has come,
from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name,
and he shall come on rulers as on mortar,
and as the potter treads clay.
26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know?
and before, that we may say, ‘He is right?’
Surely, there is no one who declares.
Surely, there is no one who shows.
Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
27 I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’
and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
28 When I look, there is no man,
even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.
29 Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing.
Their molten images are wind and confusion.

Isaiah 41:25-29
New International Version
25 “I have stirred(A) up one from the north,(B) and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(C) on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(D) so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
no one foretold(E) it,
no one heard any words(F) from you.
27 I was the first to tell(G) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(H)
28 I look but there is no one(I)—
no one among the gods to give counsel,(J)
no one to give answer(K) when I ask them.
29 See, they are all false!
Their deeds amount to nothing;(L)
their images(M) are but wind(N) and confusion.
