Isaiah 41:26-28

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
    and beforetime, that we might say, “He is right”?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
    none who heard your words.
²⁷ I first have declared it to Zion,^[a]
    and I give to Jerusalem a herald of good tidings.
²⁸ But when I look there is no one;
    among these there is no counselor
    who, when I ask, gives an answer.
