(princes) will gather

new strength. Let them

draw near and confer

together, then let them

announce judgment.

• (41:2) Who raised up

righteousness from the

East — called upon it to

attend his steps? when

he marcheth on, he will

exhibit it before nations

and confound kings

and dash their swords

to the ground, and

their bows shall be

driven away like

stubble.

• {41:2} Who raised up

the righteous [man]

from the east, called

him to his foot, gave

the nations before him,

and made [him] rule

over kings? he gave

[them] as the dust to his

sword, [and] as driven

stubble to his bow.

encouraged the

goldsmith, [and] he

midst of plains: I will turn

the wilderness into

watery fens, and with

[reasons,] saith the King

of Jacob.

us that we may apply

our understanding, and

that we may know the

final issue, and the train

[them] forth, and shew

us what shall happen:

announce to us the

things in successive

that are to come

hereafter, that we may

know that ye [are]

gods: yea, do good, or

abomination [is he

that] chooseth you.

raised up that one from

the north, and that

other from the risings of

shall you be trampled

down.

clay.

prediction is true. There

is none who predicteth,

nor doth any one hear

your words.

• {41:26} Who hath

declared from the

beginning, that we

may know? and

yea, [there is] none

that declareth, yea,

[there is] none that

heareth your words.

notice (dominion) to

Sion (Zion) and I will

and [there was] no

man; even among

them, and [there was]

no counsellor, that,

when I asked of them,

could answer a word.


• (41:29) For are these

they who made you?

They are indeed those

who vainly lead you

astray.

• {41:29} Behold, they

[are] all vanity; their

works [are] nothing:

their molten images

[are] wind and

confusion.
