Isaiah 41:21–24

21 “Submit your case,” says the Lord.

“Present your arguments,” says Jacob’s King.

22 “Let them come and tell us

what will happen.g

Tell us the past events,

so that we may reflect on them

and know the outcome,

or tell us the future.

23 Tell us the coming events,h

then we will know that you are gods.

Indeed, do something good or bad,

then we will be in aweB when we see it.

24 Look, you are nothingi

and your work is worthless.

Anyone who chooses you is detestable.
