²²Let them come, and tell us all things that are to come: tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are to come.

²³Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.

²⁴Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.

²⁵I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes to be as dirt, and as the potter treading clay.

²⁶Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth, nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth your words.

²⁷The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.

²⁸And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.

²⁹Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
