23Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see [it] together.
24Lo, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought, An abomination -- it fixeth on you.
25I have stirred up [one] from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in [on] prefects as [on] clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.
26Who hath declared from the first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, `Righteous?` yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.
27First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one proclaiming tidings I give,
28And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return word:
29`Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!`
