赛41:3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
赛41:4 谁行做成就这事，从起初宣召历代呢？就是我耶和华；我是首先的，也与末后的同在。”
赛41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
赛41:5 海岛看见就都害怕；地极也都战兢，就近前来。
赛41:5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

赛41:22 可以声明、指示我们将来必遇的事，说明先前的是什么事，好叫我们思索，得知事的结局，或者把将来的事指示我们。
赛41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
赛41:23 要说明后来的事，好叫我们知道你们是 神。你们或降福，或降祸，使我们惊奇，一同观看。
赛41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

赛41:26 谁从起初指明这事，使我们知道呢？谁从先前说明，使我们说‘他不错’呢？谁也没有指明，谁也没有说明；谁也没有听见你们的话。
赛41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

赛41:28 我看的时候并没有人；我问的时候，他们中间也没有谋士可以回答一句。
赛41:28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
