^{21 Ref} Bring near your cause, saith Jehovah, Bring nigh your mighty ones, saith the king of Jacob.

^{22 Ref} They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things -- what they `are' declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear.

^{23 Ref} Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye `are' gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see `it' together.

^{24 Ref} Lo, ye `are' of nothing, and your work of nought, An abomination -- it fixeth on you.

^{25 Ref} I have stirred up `one' from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in `on' prefects as `on' clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.

^{26 Ref} Who hath declared from the first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, `Righteous?' yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.
