Isaiah 41:18-29

18I will openH6605 riversH5104 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205, and fountains in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237; I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, and the dryH6723 landH776 springsH4599 of waterH4325. 19I will putH5414 in the wildernessH4057 the cedarH730, the acaciaH7848, and the myrtleH1918, and the oil-tree; I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree togetherH3162: 20that they may seeH7200, and knowH3045, and considerH7200, and understand togetherH3162, that the handH3027 of Jehovah hath done this, and the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 hath createdH1254 it.

21Produce your causeH7379, saith Jehovah; bringH7126 forth your strong reasons, saith the KingH4428 of JacobH3290. 22Let them bringH935 forth, and declareH5046 unto us what shall happen: declareH5046 ye the formerH7223 thingsH7223, what they are, that we may consider them, and knowH3045 the latterH319 endH319 of them; or show us thingsH7223 to comeH935. 23DeclareH5046 the thingsH857 that are to comeH857 hereafter, that we may knowH3045 that ye are godsH430: yea, do goodH3190, or do evilH7489, that we may be dismayed, and behold it togetherH3162. 24Behold, ye are of nothingH369, and your workH6467 is of nought; an abominationH8441 is he that chooseth you.

25I have raised up one from the northH6828, and he is comeH935; from the rising of the sunH8121 one that calleth upon my nameH8034: and he shall comeH935 upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potterH3335 treadeth clayH2916. 26Who hath declaredH5046 it from the beginning, that we may knowH3045? and beforetime, that we may sayH559, He is right? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that showeth, yea, there is none that heareth your wordsH561. 27I am the firstH7223 that saith unto ZionH6726, Behold, behold them; and I will giveH5414 to JerusalemH3389 oneH7223 that bringeth good tidings. 28And when I lookH7200, there is no manH376: even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I askH7592 of them, can answer a wordH1697. 29Behold, all of them, their worksH4639 are vanity and nought; their molten images are windH7307 and confusion.
