Isaiah 41:27-29
Contemporary English Version

27 I was the first to tell
the people of Jerusalem,
    “Look, it's happening!”[a]
I was the one who announced
    this good news to Zion.

28 None of these idols
are able to give advice
    or answer questions.
29 They are nothing,[b]
    and they can do nothing—
they are merely
    a passing breeze.
