Isaiah 41:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Let them bring forth their idols
    and reveal to us what is going to happen.
What happened in the past?
    Inform us so that we may reflect on it
and that we may know what the outcome will be
    or declare to us the things to come.
²³ Reveal to us what is yet to come
    so that we may know that you are gods.
Do something, whether good or bad,
    that will cause us to be alarmed and terrified.
²⁴ But you cannot do so, for you are nothing,
    and your works are truly worthless.
    To choose you is an abomination.
