Isaiah 41:28 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 41.

24 Behold, you are nothing and your work is of no value. Anyone who chooses you is detestable.

25 I have raised up one from the north, and he has come—one from the east who calls on My name. He will march over rulers as if they were mortar, like a potter who treads the clay.

26 Who has declared this from the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one announced it, no one foretold it, no one heard your words.

27 I was the first to tell Zion: ‘Look, here they are!’ And I gave to Jerusalem a herald of good news.

28 When I look, there is no one; there is no counselor among them; when I ask them, they have nothing to say.

29 See, they are all a delusion; their works amount to nothing; their images are as empty as the wind.
