Isaiah 41:27-29
International Standard Version
27 First, to Zion: “There is slumber.”[a]
And to Jerusalem: “I’ll send a messenger with good news.”
28 But when I look, there is no one—
among them there’s no one to give counsel,
no one to give an answer when I ask them.
29 See, none of them exist, and their deeds are nothing.[b]
Their metal images are only wind and confusion.’”

their images(G) are but wind(H) and confusion.
