20. That all may see and know,observe and understand,That the hand of the Lord has done this,the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21. Present your case, says the Lord;bring forward your arguments, says the King of Jacob.
22. Let them draw near and foretell to uswhat it is that shall happen!What are the things of long ago?Tell us, that we may reflect on themand know their outcome;Or declare to us the things to come,
23. tell what is to be in the future,that we may know that you are gods!Do something, good or evil,that will put us in awe and in fear.
24. Why, you are nothingand your work is nought;to choose you is an abomination!
