The LORD’s word “Produce your cause”
우상들은 소송을 일으키라 하시는 여호와의 말씀
Isaiah 41:21–29: “Produce your cause,” says the LORD. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob. “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come. Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together. Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination. I have raised up one from the north, and he has come, from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name, and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay. Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right’? Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words. I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem. When I look, there is no man, even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask, can answer a word. Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.” Neither edition says who the “one from the north” and the “one who calls on my name” of 41:25 are. WEB opens a quotation at 41:22, opens it again at 41:25, and closes neither within these verses. The Korean Revised Version speaks to the idols at 41:21 (너희 우상들은 소송을 일으키라, calling on the idols to bring their suit), where WEB reads “Produce your cause”; opens 41:22 with 장차 당할 일을 우리에게 진술하라 (a command, spoken to those addressed, to declare what will happen), where WEB reads “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen!”; reads at 41:25 오게 하였나니 (made to come), where WEB reads “and he has come”; and at 41:27 puts the word to Zion in the past (내가 비로소 시온에 이르기를 … 하였노라), where WEB reads “I am the first to say to Zion”.
