Isaiah 41:27-29
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 I [the Lord] first gave to Zion the announcement, Behold, [the Jews will be restored to their own land, and the man Cyrus shall be raised up who will deliver them] behold them! And to Jerusalem I gave a herald [Isaiah] bringing the good news.(A)
28 For I look [upon the heathen prophets and the priests of pagan practices] and there is no man among them [who could predict these events], and among these [idols] there is no counselor who, when I ask of him, can answer a word.
29 Behold, these [pagan prophets and priests] are all emptiness (falseness and futility)! Their works are worthless; their molten images are empty wind (confusion and waste).

Isaiah 41:27-29
New International Version
27 I was the first to tell(A) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(B)
28 I look but there is no one(C)—
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.
