Isaiah 41:24-26
Revised Standard Version
Isaiah 41:24-26
Revised Standard Version
24 Behold, you are nothing,
and your work is nought;
an abomination is he who chooses you.
25 I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
from the rising of the sun, and he shall call on my name;
he shall trample[a] on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.
26 Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
and beforetime, that we might say, “He is right”?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
none who heard your words.

no one heard any words(I) from you.
