Ésaïe 41:28 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 41:28

For I beheld, and there was no man
Among all the Pagan priests and prophets, that could foretell things to come; or could prove that their idols did or could say anything in favour of them: even amongst them, and there was no counsellor:
none that could be advocates for these idols, and plead their cause; or could give any good advice and counsel to persons that needed it, and who applied to them or their idols for it: that, when I asked of them, could answer a word;
when asked what they had to say on behalf of their gods they worshipped, were dumb and speechless; moreover, all this may be said of the idols themselves, that there was none among them that could foretell a future event, or give any wholesome counsel to their worshippers, or could say anything in their own defence; and therefore, to close the controversy, the following sentence is pronounced.

Ésaïe 41:28 In-Context

26 Qui l'a déclaré dès le commencement, pour que nous le sachions? Qui l'a dit à l'avance, que nous disions: Il est juste? Mais personne ne l'a déclaré, personne ne l'a fait entendre, personne n'a entendu vos paroles.

27 C'est moi, qui le premier ai dit à Sion: Les voici, les voici; j'enverrai à Jérusalem un messager de bonnes nouvelles.

28 J'ai regardé, il n'y avait personne, point de conseiller à consulter parmi eux, pour qu'on répondit.

29 Voilà, ils ne sont tous que vanité; leurs ouvrages ne sont que néant, et leurs idoles de fonte qu'un vain souffle!
