Speak up and present your case , – yes, let them consult each other. Who predicted this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the Lord? There is no other God but me, a righteous God and Saviour; there is no one except me.
All of you, assemble and listen! Who among the idols has declared these things? The Lord loves him; he will accomplish his will against Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
Who, like me, can announce the future? Let him say so and make a case before me, since I have established an ancient people. Let these gods declare the coming things, and what will take place.
Who told about this from the beginning, so that we might know, and from times past, so that we might say, “He is right”? No one announced it, no one told it, no one heard your words.
