25 “I have raised up one from the north, and he has come,one from the east who invokes My name. He will march over rulers as if they were mud,like a potter who treads the clay.
26 Who told about this from the beginning,so that we might know,and from times past,so that we might say: He is right?No one announced it,no one told it,no one heard your words.
27 I was the first to say to Zion: Look! Here they are!And I gave a herald of good news to Jerusalem.
28 When I look, there is no one;there is no counselor among them;when I ask them, they have nothing to say.
29 Look, all of them are a delusion; their works are nonexistent;their images are wind and emptiness.
