Isaiah 41:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ Tell me, who decided in the beginning,
    that all these things must happen?
Who told us about them before they happened?
    Then we could say, “He was right!”
None of your idols said anything about it!
    Nobody heard them say a word!
²⁷ I, the Lord, was the first person
    to tell the good news to Zion.
I sent someone to Jerusalem to say,
    “Look, they have arrived!”
²⁸ I looked among your idols,
    to see who might be a good advisor.
But none of them could help.
    None of them could answer my questions.
