41:21 “Present your argument,” says the Lord.

“Produce your evidence,” says Jacob’s king.

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!

so we might know you are gods.

Yes, do something good or bad,

so we might be frightened and in awe.

Indeed, no one heard you say anything!
