Isaiah 41:24-29

41:24

Behold, ye [are] of nothing
<0369>_,

and your work
<06467>

of nought
<0659>_:

an abomination
<08441>

[is he that] chooseth
<0977> (8799)

you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}

41:25

I have raised up
<05782> (8689)

[one] from the north
<06828>_,

and he shall come
<0857> (8799)_:

from the rising
<04217>

of the sun
<08121>

shall he call
<07121> (8799)

upon my name
<08034>_:

and he shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon princes
<05461>

as [upon] morter
<02563>_,

and as the potter
<03335> (8802)

treadeth
<07429> (8799)

clay
<02916>_.

41:26

Who hath declared
<05046> (8689)

from the beginning
<07218>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)_?

and beforetime
<06440>_,

that we may say
<0559> (8799)_,

[He is] righteous
<06662>_?

yea, [there is] none that sheweth
<05046> (8688)_,

yea, [there is] none that declareth
<08085> (8688)_,

yea, [there is] none that heareth
<08085> (8802)

your words
<0561>_.

41:27

The first
<07223>

[shall say] to Zion
<06726>_,

Behold
<02009>_,

behold
<02009>

them: and I will give
<05414> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

one that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_.

41:28

For I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,

and [there was] no man
<0376>_;

even among them, and [there was] no counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

that, when I asked
<07592> (8799)

of them, could answer
<07725> (8686)

a word
<01697>_.

{answer: Heb. return}

41:29

Behold, they [are] all vanity
<0205>_;

their works
<04639>

[are] nothing
<0657>_:

their molten images
<05262>

[are] wind
<07307>

and confusion
<08414>_.
