Isaiah 41:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²³Tell us what is to come hereafter,
    that we may know that you are gods;
do good, or do harm,
    that we may be afraid and terrified.
²⁴You, indeed, are nothing
    and your work is nothing at all;
    whoever chooses you is an abomination.

²⁵I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
from the rising of the sun he was summoned by name.^[a]
He shall trample^[b] on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.
