Isaiah 46:9New International Reader's Version“Remember what happened in the past. Think about what took place long ago. I am God. There is no other God. I am God. There is no one like me. See the chapter |
Which one of you false gods said those things would happen before they did? Who told us about them so we could know them? Who told us ahead of time? Who told us so we could say, ‘You are right’? None of you false gods told us about them. None of you told us ahead of time. In fact, no one heard you say anything at all.
The Lord says to the people of Jerusalem, “You will get everything Egypt produces. You will receive everything the people of Cush and the tall Sabeans get in trade. All of it will belong to you. And all these people will walk behind you as slaves. They will be put in chains and come over to you. They will bow down to you. They will admit, ‘God is with you. There is no other God.’ ”
I will be like a lion coming up from the bushes by the Jordan River. I will hunt in rich grasslands. I will chase the people of Babylon from their land in an instant. What nation will I choose to do this? Which one will I appoint? Is anyone like me? Who would dare to argue with me? What leader can stand against me?”
