Isaiah 41:24

Compare all

22 “Let^a them bring forth and show us what will happen;
Let them show the ^bformer things, what they were,
That we may¹ consider them,
And know the latter end of them;
Or declare to us things to come.

23 ^aShow the things that are to come hereafter,
That we may know that you are gods;
Yes, ^bdo good or do evil,
That we may be dismayed and see it together.

24 Indeed ^ayou are nothing,
And your work is nothing;
He who chooses you is an abomination.

25 “I have raised up one from the¹ north,
And he shall come;
From the rising of the sun ^ahe shall call on My name;
^bAnd he shall come against princes as though mortar,
As the potter treads clay.

26 ^aWho has declared from the beginning, that we may know?
And former times, that we may say, ‘He is righteous’?
Surely there is no one who shows,
Surely there is no one who declares,
Surely there is no one who hears your words.

Your work of naught "Your operation is less than naught" - For meepha , read meephes ; so the Chaldee and Vulgate. A manifest error of the text; compare Isaiah 40:17. The rabbins acknowledge no such error, but say that the former word signifies the same with the latter, by a change of the two letters samech and ain . - Sal ben Melec in loc.
