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 lo supiéramos?¿Quién lo anunció de antemano,para que dijéramos: “Tenía razón”?Nadie lo anunció ni lo proclamó;nadie les oyó proclamar mensaje alguno.

27 Yo fui el primero en decirle a Sión:“¡Mira, ya están aquí!”Yo fui quien envió a Jerusalénun mensajero de buenas noticias.

28 Miro entre ellos, y no hay nadie;no hay entre ellos quien aconseje,no hay quien me responda cuando les pregunto.

29 ¡Todos ellos son falsos!Sus obras no son nada;sus ídolos no son más que viento y confusión.
