Isaiah 41:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

²² Bring your idols into court.
    Let them tell us what will happen in future years.
Let them tell us what happened in the past.
    Then we can think about those things.
    We will understand what happened in the end.
Or ask them to tell us about future events!
²³ If they can tell us what will happen in future years,
    we will know that they really are gods.
Tell them to do something,
    a good thing or a bad thing.
That would really surprise us,
    or even frighten us!
²⁴ But no! Your idols are useless.
    There is nothing that they can do.
Anybody who chooses to worship them
    has turned against God!
