24 You and all you do are nothing;those who worship you are disgusting!
25 “I have chosen a man who lives in the east;I will bring him to attack from the north.He tramples on rulers as if they were mud,like a potter trampling clay.
26 Which of you predicted that this would happen,so that we could say that you were right?None of you said a word about it;no one heard you say a thing!
27 I, the Lord, was the first to tell Zion the news;I sent a messenger to Jerusalem to say,‘Your people are coming! They are coming home!’
28 When I looked among the gods,none of them had a thing to say;not one could answer the questions I asked.
29 All these gods are useless;they can do nothing at all —these idols are weak and powerless.”
