Isaiah 41:27-29

New Century Version

²⁷ I, the Lord, was the first one to tell Jerusalem that the people were coming home.
    I sent a messenger to Jerusalem with the good news.
²⁸ I look at the idols, but there is not one that can answer.
    None of them can give advice;
    none of them can answer my questions.
²⁹ Look, all these idols are false.
    They cannot do anything;
    they are worth nothing.
