22 “Let them approach, and declare to us what will happen. The former things, what were they? Declare it, that we may set it in our heart and know the last things; or declare to us the coming things. 23 Declare the things to come hereafter, that we may know if you? are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may look and see together. 24 Behold, you? are nothing, and your? work is worthless—an abomination is he who chooses you?! 25 I have roused one from the north, and he has come from the rising of the sun; he calls on My name, and he comes in against princes like they were mortar, and like the potter treads the clay. 26 Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know, and from before the face, that we may say, ‘He is right? Surely, no one declared it; surely, no one proclaimed it; surely no one heard your? words. 27 First to Zion—behold, behold them!—And to Jerusalem, I will give one bringing news. 28 For I looked, and there was no man; among them, and no one was counseling, that I might ask them, and they could answer a word. 29 Behold, all of them are delusion; their works are nothing, their molten images are wind and emptiness.
