Isaiah

²⁴Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. ²⁵I have raised up one from the north, and he is come; from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon my name: and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay. ²⁶Who hath declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. ²⁷I first will say unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. ²⁸And when I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word. ²⁹Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nought: their molten images are wind and confusion.
