Isaiah 41:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ Who told of this from the beginning,
    so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could ask,
    ‘Is it right?’^[a]
Indeed, no one told of this,
    no one made an announcement,
        and no one heard your words:
²⁷ First, to Zion: “There is slumber.”^[b]
    And to Jerusalem: “I’ll send a messenger with good news.”
²⁸ But when I look, there is no one—
    among them there’s no one to give counsel,
        no one to give an answer when I ask them.
