Isaiah 41:26-29

26Who decreed this from the beginning, so we could know? Who announced it ahead of time, so we could say, ‘He’s correct’? Indeed, none of them decreed it! Indeed, none of them announced it! Indeed, no one heard you say anything!

27I first decreed to Zion, ‘Look, here’s what will happen!’ I sent a herald to Jerusalem.

28I look, but there is no one, among them there is no one who serves as an adviser, that I might ask questions and receive answers.

29Look, all of them are nothing, their accomplishments are nonexistent; their metal images lack any real substance.
