Isaiah 41:27-29
Amplified Bible
27
“I was first to say to Zion, ‘Listen carefully, here they are [the Jews who will be restored to their own land].’
And to Jerusalem, ‘I will provide a messenger (Isaiah) to bring the good news [[a]that Cyrus will be stirred up and put into action to save them].’(A)
28
“But when I look [on the pagan prophets and priests], there is no one [who could predict these events],
And there is no counselor [b]among them,
Who, if I ask, can give an answer.
29
“In fact, all of these [pagan prophets and priests] are false;
Their works are worthless,
Their cast images are [merely] wind and emptiness.

27 I was the first to tell(A) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(B)

no one among the gods to give counsel,(D)
no one to give answer(E) when I ask them.
29 See, they are all false!
Their deeds amount to nothing;(F)
their images(G) are but wind(H) and confusion.
