Isaiah 41:24-26
New American Standard Bible
24 Behold, (A)you are less than nothing,
And (B)your work is less than nothing!
He who chooses you is an (C)abomination.
25 “I have put (D)one from the north into motion, and he has come;
From the rising of the sun he will call on My name;
And he will come upon rulers as upon [a](E)mortar,
As the potter treads on clay.”
26 Who has (F)declared this from the beginning, that we might know?
Or from former times, that we may say, “He is right!”?
There was (G)no one at all who declared,
There was no one at all who proclaimed,
There was no one at all who heard your words.

King James Version
24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
