Isaiah 41:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Isaiah 41:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
24 You, indeed, are nothing
and your work is nothing at all;
whoever chooses you is an abomination.
25 I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
from the rising of the sun he was summoned by name.[a]
He shall trample[b] on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.
26 Who declared it from the beginning, so that we might know,
and beforehand, so that we might say, ‘He is right’?
There was no one who declared it, none who proclaimed,
none who heard your words.

New International Version
24 But you are less than nothing(A)
and your works are utterly worthless;(B)
whoever chooses you is detestable.(C)
25 “I have stirred(D) up one from the north,(E) and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(F) on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(G) so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
no one foretold(H) it,
no one heard any words(I) from you.
