Yeshayah 41:24-26

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁴ See, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought; a toevah (abomination) is he that chooseth you.

²⁵ I have awakened one [Koresh, Cyrus] from the tzafon (north), and he shall come; from the rising of the shemesh shall he call upon My Shem; and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the yotzer (potter) treadeth clay.

²⁶ Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? And from beforehand, that we may say, He was in the right? Indeed, there is none that telleth, indeed, there is none that preacheth, indeed, there is none that heareth your words.
