“Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you. ”
“Behold, you are of nothing, and your work is of nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.”
“Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.”
“But you are nothing, and your work is of no value: foolish is he who takes you for his gods.”
“Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.”
The Lord Challenges the Pagan Gods“Present your argument,” says the LORD.“Produce your evidence,” says Jacob’s king.
“Let them produce evidence! Let them tell us what will happen! Tell us about your earlier predictive oracles, so we may examine them and see how they were fulfilled. Or decree for us some future events!
Predict how future events will turn out, so we might know you are gods. Yes, do something good or bad, so we might be frightened and in awe.
Look, you are nothing, and your accomplishments are nonexistent; the one who chooses to worship you is disgusting.
I have stirred up one out of the north and he advances, one from the eastern horizon who prays in my name. He steps on rulers as if they were clay, like a potter treading the clay.
Who decreed this from the beginning, so we could know? Who announced it ahead of time, so we could say,‘He’s correct’? Indeed, none of them decreed it! Indeed, none of them announced it! Indeed, no one heard you say anything!
I first decreed to Zion,‘Look, here’s what will happen!’ I sent a herald to Jerusalem.
