26 aWho has declared from the beginning, that we may know?

Surely there is no one who declares,
Surely there is no one who hears your words.
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.

‘Look, there they are!’
And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good tidings.
‘Look, there they are!’
And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good tidings.

I looked among them, but there was no counselor,
Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
I looked among them, but there was no counselor,
Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
