Isaiah 41:23-24

23 Predict how future events will turn out, ^{▼▼tn Heb “Declare the coming things, with respect to the end.”}
so we might know you are gods.
Yes, do something good or something bad,
so we might be frightened and in awe. ^{▼▼tc The translation assumes the Qere (וְנִרְאֶה [venirʾeh], from יָרֵא [yareʾ], “be afraid”).} ^{▼▼tn Heb “so we might be frightened and afraid together.” On the meaning of the verb שָׁתָע (shataʿ), 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. ^{▼▼tn Heb “an object of disgust [is he who] chooses you.”}
