Isaiah 41:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶ Who announced this from the start
        so that we would know;
    from an earlier time
        so we would say, “That’s right”?
Truly, no one announced it,
    no one proclaimed it,
    and no one heard your words.
²⁷ I first said it to Zion, “Look, here they are”;
    to Jerusalem I now send a herald.
²⁸ But I look, and there’s no one
    among them, no counselor;
    and when I ask,
    no one can answer.
