Isaiah 41:27-29

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ “^(A)Previously I said to Zion, ‘Behold, here they are.’
And to Jerusalem, ‘I will give a ^(B)messenger of good news.’
²⁸ But ^(C)when I look, there is no one,
And there is no ^(D)counselor ^[a]among them
Who, if I ask, can ^(E)give an answer.
²⁹ Behold, all of them are ^[b]false;
Their ^(F)works are ^(G)nothing,
Their cast metal images are ^(H)wind and emptiness.
