Isaiah 41:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Present your case, says the Lord.
    Bring forward your evidence, says Jacob’s king.
²² Let the idols^[a] approach
    and tell us what will happen.
The prior things—what are they?
    Announce them, and we’ll think about them
    and know their significance.
    Or proclaim to us what is to come!
²³ Report things that will happen in the future,
    then we’ll know that you are gods.
Do good! Or do bad!
    Then we will all be afraid and fearful.
