Isaiah 41:24-26
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 41:24-26
New International Reader's Version
24 But you false gods are less than nothing.
Your actions are completely worthless.
I hate it when people worship you.
25 “I have stirred up a king
who will come from the north.
He lives in the east.
He will bring honor to me.
He walks all over rulers as if they were mud.
He steps on them just as a potter stomps on clay.
26 Which one of you false gods said those things
would happen before they did?
Who told us about them
so we could know them?
Who told us ahead of time?
Who told us so we could say,
‘You are right’?
None of you false gods told us about them.
None of you told us ahead of time.
In fact, no one heard you say anything at all.

Isaiah 41:24-26
New International Version
24 But you are less than nothing(A)
and your works are utterly worthless;(B)
whoever chooses you is detestable.(C)
25 “I have stirred(D) up one from the north,(E) and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(F) on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(G) so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
no one foretold(H) it,
no one heard any words(I) from you.
