The Lord Proves He Is the Only God

25 “I called someone in the north[a] to come.
    He is coming from the east where the sun rises,
    and he honors my name.
He tramples kings
    the way a potter softens clay with his feet.

26 “Who told us about this before it happened
    so that we could say he was right?
None of your idols told us anything.
    They didn’t say a word,
    and they cannot hear anything you say.
27 I, the Lord, was the first one to tell Zion about these things.
    I sent a messenger to Jerusalem to say,
    ‘Look, your people are coming back!’”
