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.
Who - of the idolatrous soothsayers.
Hath declared from the beginning, that we may know. When this prophecy shall be fulfilled, all shall see that God foretold as to Cyrus, which none of the soothsayers have.
And before time - before the event occurred
That we may say, (He is) righteous - it is true; it was a true prophecy, as the event shows. "He is righteous," in the English version must be interpreted. The fulfillment of the idol's words proves that He is faithful.
Yea, (there is) none that showeth, yea, (there is) none that declareth; yea, (there is) none that heareth your words - there is none of the idols that showeth future events. There is none of the prophets to those idols that declareth the future so shown to him; yea, there is none of the idol worshippers that heareth your words giving revelations as to the future.
