21 Bring near your cause, says the LORD; bring near your counsels, says the King of Jacob. 22 Let them come near and show us the things that are to come; show us the former things, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us the things that are to come. 23 Show us the wonders that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may relate it and behold it together. 24 Behold, you are nothing, and your works are corrupt; choosing you is an abomination. 25 I have stirred up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun, and shall call on my name; and the princes shall come, and shall be trodden down like mortar, and as the potter treads clay. 26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? Yea, there is none that shows, yea, there is none that declares, yea, there is none that hears your words. 27 These things are the chief concern of Zion; behold, I will give to Jerusalem one that brings good tidings. 28 For I beheld, and there was no man who could meditate about these things, that I might ask him, and that he might give me an answer. 29 Behold, they are all nothing; their works are vanity; their images are wind and vanity.
