²⁴ You, indeed, are nothing,
    and your work is nothing at all;
    whoever chooses you is an abomination.^(A)

¹⁷ They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame—
    those who trust in carved images,
who say to cast images,
    “You are our gods.”^(A)

⁹ Let all the nations gather together,
    and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them declared this
    and foretold to us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
    and let them hear and say, “It is true.”^(A)
