Isaiah 41:23 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 23 or, failing that, tell us what will happen in the future. Can't do that? How about doing something - anything! Good or bad - whatever. Can you hurt us or help us? Do we need to be afraid?' | 23 tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods. Do something, whether good or bad, so that we will be dismayed and filled with fear. |
