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.
