Isaiah 41:22-23

41:22 “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!

41:23 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.


tn Heb “As for the former things, tell us what they are!”

tn Heb “so we might set [them to] our heart.”

tn Heb “and might know their outcome.”

tn Heb “Declare the coming things, with respect to the end.”
