Isaiah 41:24-26

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁴ Behold, ^(A)you are nothing,
    and your work is less than nothing;
    an abomination is he who chooses you.
^25 (B)I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
    ^(C)from the rising of the sun, ^(D)and he shall call upon my name;
he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,
    as the potter treads clay.
^26 (E)Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
    and beforehand, that we might say, “He is right”?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
    none who heard your words.
