Isaiah 41:21-23
New Century Version
The Lord Challenges False Gods
21 The Lord says, “Present your case.”
The King of Jacob says, “Tell me your arguments.
22 Bring in your idols to tell us
what is going to happen.
Have them tell us what happened in the beginning.
Then we will think about these things,
and we will know how they will turn out.
Or tell us what will happen in the future.
23 Tell us what is coming next
so we will believe that you are gods.
Do something, whether it is good or bad,
and make us afraid.
Isaiah 41:21-23
