Isaiah 41:21-29
21“1PresentH7126 your caseH7379,” the LordH3068 saysH559. “BringH5066 forwardH5066 your evidenceH6110,” The 2KingH4428 of JacobH3290 saysH559.223Let them bringH5066 them forwardH5066 and declareH5046 to us whatH834 is going to takeH7136 placeH7136; As for the 4formerH7223 events, declareH5046 whatH4100 they were, So that we may considerH7760H3820 them and knowH3045 their outcomeH319. OrH176 announceH8085 to us what is comingH935;235DeclareH5046 the thingsH857 that are goingH857 toH857 comeH857 afterwardH268, So that we may knowH3045 that you are godsH430; IndeedH637, 6doH3190 goodH3190 or evilH7489, that we may beH8159 afraidH8159 and fearH3372 togetherH3164.24BeholdH2005, 7you are lessH4480 thanH4480 nothingH369, And 8your workH6467 is lessH4480 thanH4480 nothingH657! He who choosesH977 you is an 9abominationH8441.
25“I have putH5782 10one from the northH6828 intoH5782 motionH5782, and he has comeH857; From the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 he will callH7121 on My nameH8034; And he will comeH935 upon rulersH5461 as upon 1112mortarH2563, As the potterH3335 treadsH7429 onH7429 clayH2563.”26WhoH4310 has 13declaredH5046 this from the beginningH7218, that we might knowH3045? Or from formerH6440 timesH6440, that we may sayH559, “He is rightH6662!”? ThereH369 wasH369 14noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who declaredH5046, ThereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who proclaimedH8085, ThereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 atH637 allH637 who heardH8085 your wordsH561.27“15PreviouslyH7223 I said to ZionH6726, ‘BeholdH2009, hereH2009 they are.’ And to JerusalemH3389, ‘I will giveH5414 a 16messengerH1319 ofH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319.’28But 17when I lookH7200, thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH376, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 18counselorH3289 19amongH4480 them Who, if I askH7592, can 20giveH7725 an answerH1697.29BeholdH2005, allH3605 of them are 21falseH205; Their 22worksH4639 are 23nothingH657, Their castH5262 metalH5262 imagesH5262 are 24windH7307 and emptinessH8414.
