Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming. 23 Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay. 24 Behold, you are nothing and your work is of no value.
