23 Tell us what will happen in the future,

So that we may know that you are gods.+

Yes, do something, good or bad,

So that we may be amazed when we see it.+

 9 All who form carved images amount to nothing,

And their cherished objects will be of no benefit.+

As their witnesses, they* see nothing and know nothing,+

So those who made them will be put to shame.+
