Isaiah 41:23-24

23 Predict how future events will turn out, ^{▼▼ Heb “Declare the coming things, with respect to the end.”}
so we might know you are gods.
Yes, do something good or bad,
so we might be frightened and in awe. ^{▼▼ The translation assumes the Qere (וְנִרְאֶה [v^enir’eh], from יָרֵא [yare’], “be afraid”).} ^{▼▼ Heb “so we might be frightened and afraid together.” On the meaning of the verb שָׁתָע (shata’), see the note at v. 10.}
24 Look, you are nothing, and your accomplishments are nonexistent;
the one who chooses to worship you is disgusting. ^{▼▼ Heb “an object of disgust [is he who] chooses you.”}
