Isaiah 41:24-26
Expanded Bible
24 [L Look; T Behold] ·You gods [L You] are less than nothing;
you can’t do anything.
Those who ·worship [L choose] you ·should be hated [are detestable/an abomination].
25 “I have ·brought [stirred up] someone to come out of the north [C Cyrus, king of Persia; 41:2; 44:28—45:6; 46:11; 48:14–16].
·I have called him by name from the east [or…one from the east/rising sun who calls on my name].
He ·walks on kings [tramples on rulers] as if they were ·mud [mortar],
just as a potter ·walks [treads] on the clay.
26 Who ·told us about [declared; decreed] this ·before it happened [L from the beginning]?
Who told us ahead of time so we could say, ‘He was right’?
·None of you [L Indeed no one] told us anything;
·none of you [L indeed no one] told us before it happened;
·no one [L indeed no one] heard you tell about it.

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.
