Isaiah 41:24-26
Complete Jewish Bible
24 You can’t! — because you are less than nothing.
Whoever chooses you is an abomination!
25 “I roused someone from the north,
and he has come from the rising sun;
he will call on my name.
He will trample on rulers as if they were mud,
like a potter treading clay.”
26 Who said this at the start, so we could know,
or foretold it, so we could say, “He’s right”?
In fact, no one said it; no one foretold it —
the fact is, nobody hears what you say.
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.
