Isaiah 41:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Behold, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath [a]chosen an abomination by them.
25 ¶ I have raised up from the [b]North, and he shall come: from the East sun shall he [c]call upon my name, and shall come upon [d]princes as upon clay, and as the potter treadeth mire under the foot.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? or before time, that we may say, He is righteous? Surely there is none that showeth: surely there is none that declareth: surely there is none that heareth [e]your words.
