Isaiah 41:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes;
from the east I summon him[a] by name;
He shall trample the rulers down like mud,
like a potter treading clay.
26 Who announced this from the beginning, that we might know;
beforehand, that we might say, “True”?
Not one of you foretold it, not one spoke;
not one heard you say,
27 “The first news for Zion: here they come,”
or, “I will give Jerusalem a herald of good news.”
