71 Days of Isaiah Plan

²¹“Present your case,” the LORD says. “Bring forward your evidence,” The King of Jacob says.

²²Let them bring them forward and declare to us what is going to take place; As for the former events, declare what they were, So that we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming;

²³Declare the things that are going to come afterward, So that we may know that you are gods; Indeed, do good or evil, that we may be afraid and fear together.

²⁴Behold, you are less than nothing, And your work is less than nothing! He who chooses you is an abomination.

²⁵“I have put one from the north into motion, and he has come; From the rising of the sun he will call on My name; And he will come upon rulers as upon mortar, As the potter treads on clay.”

²⁶Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know? Or from former times, that we may say, “He is right!”? There was no one at all who declared, There was no one at all who proclaimed, There was no one at all who heard your words.

²⁷“Previously I said to Zion, ‘Behold, here they are.’ And to Jerusalem, ‘I will give a messenger of good news.’

²⁸But when I look, there is no one, And there is no counselor among them Who, if I ask, can give an answer.

²⁹Behold, all of them are false; Their works are nothing, Their cast metal images are wind and emptiness.
