Isaías 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.

Isaías 41:28 In-Context

26 ¿Quién lo anunció desde el principio, para que supiéramos, o desde tiempos antiguos, para que dijéramos: Tiene razón? Ciertamente no había quien lo anunciara, sí, no había quien lo proclamara, ciertamente no había quien oyera vuestras palabras.

27 Dije primero a Sion: "Mira, aquí están", y a Jerusalén: "Os daré un mensajero de buenas nuevas."

28 Pero cuando miro, no hay nadie, y entre ellos no hay consejeros a quienes, si les pregunto, puedan responder.

29 He aquí, todos ellos son falsos ; sus obras inútiles, viento y vacuidad sus imágenes fundidas.
