Isaiah 41:27-29
GOD’S WORD Translation
27 I was the first to tell Zion, ‘Look, here they are.’
I gave Jerusalem a messenger with the good news.
28 When I look, there is no one.
There is no one to advise them.
When I ask them a question,
will they give an answer?
29 All of them are nothing.[a]
They can’t do anything.
Their statues are nothing but air.”
