Meaningless Idols

21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong [reasons], saith the King of Jacob.

21:

22 Let them bring [them] forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they [be], that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

22:

23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together.

23:

24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination [is he that] chooseth you.

24:

25 I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as [upon] morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

25:

26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea, [there is] none that sheweth, yea, [there is] none that declareth, yea, [there is] none that heareth your words.

26:

27 The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

27:

28 For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no counseller, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

28:

29 Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works [are] nothing: their molten images [are] wind and confusion.

29:
