Isaiah 41:20

Verse 20 of 29. The 41st of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

16You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in the LORD. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

17The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

18I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the middle of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

19I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;

20that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that the LORD’s hand has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

21Produce your cause,” says the LORD. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob.

22“Let them announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

23Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.

24Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
