Isaiah 41:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ I have stirred up one from the north,
    and he has come forth;
    from the east he has been summoned by name.
He will trample on rulers as if they were mud,
    like a potter treading clay.
²⁶ Who revealed this to us from the beginning
    so that we might know it,
or advised us beforehand
    so that we might say, “He is right”?
No one foretold it, no one proclaimed it,
    no one has heard you say anything in this regard.
²⁷ I was the first to declare it to Zion,
    and I sent a bearer of glad tidings to Jerusalem.
