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.

The first {shall say} to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

For I beheld, and {there was} no man; even among them, and {there was} no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. {answer: Heb. return}

Behold, they {are} all vanity; their works {are} nothing: their molten images {are} wind and confusion.
