25 “I have raised up one from the north,
And he shall come;
From the [a]rising of the sun (A)he shall call on My name;
(B)And he shall come against princes as though mortar,
As the potter treads clay.
26 (C)Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know?
And former times, that we may say, ‘He is righteous’?
Surely there is no one who shows,
Surely there is no one who declares,
Surely there is no one who hears your words.
27 (D)The first time (E)I said to Zion,
‘Look, there they are!’
And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good tidings.
