25. I have raised up one from the north, and he will arrive from the rising of the sun. He will call upon my name, and he will reduce magistrates to mud, like a potter working with clay.
26. Who has announced this from its rising, so that we may know it, or from its beginning, so that we may say, "You are just." There is no one who either announces, or predicts, or hears your words.
27. The first one will say to Zion: "Behold, they are here," and to Jerusalem, "I will present an evangelist."
28. And I saw, and there was no one among any of them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
29. Behold, they are all unjust, and their works are empty. Their idols are wind and emptiness.
