Isaiah 41:25-27

25 ^aI stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
^bfrom the rising of the sun, ^cand he shall call upon my name;
he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.
26 ^dWho declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
and beforehand, that we might say, “He is right”?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
none who heard your words.
27 ^eI was the first to say ^{▼▼Or Formerly I said} to Zion, “Behold, here they are!”
and ^gI give to Jerusalem a herald of good news.
