Isaiah 41:23-25
International Standard Version
23 Tell us what the future holds,
so we may know that you are gods!
Yes, do something good or something bad,
so we may hear[a] and gaze at it together.’”
24 “Look! You and your work are less than nothing;[b]
whoever finds you pleasing is disgusting.”
25 “You are stirring up[c] one from the north,
and they are coming[d] from the rising of the sun;
and[e] he will be called by his[f] name.
Rulers will arrive like mud;[g]
just[h] like a potter, he will trample the clay.
