Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see [it] together.

Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.
Yes, those idols should tell us what will happen in the future. If they do that, we will know that they are really gods. Tell them to do something—either something good or something bad! Tell them to do something that will cause us to be amazed and afraid!

21“Present your case,” says the LORD. “Submit your arguments,” says the King of Jacob.
22“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.
23Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.
24Behold, you are nothing and your work is of no value. Anyone who chooses you is detestable. 25I 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.Cross References

Isaiah 41:23 Summary
In Isaiah 41:23, the prophet Isaiah is challenging the idols and false gods of the nations to prove their power and divinity by predicting future events or performing a miracle. This verse shows that only the one true God has the power to do these things, as stated in Isaiah 46:10. The idols are unable to do anything, good or evil, and are therefore not worthy of our trust or worship, as seen in Psalm 115:3-8. By trusting in the one true God, we can have confidence and hope for the future, knowing that He is all-powerful and loving, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the context of Isaiah 41:23 and who is being addressed?
In Isaiah 41:23, the prophet Isaiah is addressing the idols and false gods of the nations, challenging them to prove their power and divinity by predicting future events or performing a miracle, as seen in Isaiah 41:21-22 and Isaiah 41:24.
Why do the idols need to predict the future to prove their divinity?
According to the Bible, only the one true God has the power to predict the future with accuracy, as stated in Isaiah 46:10 and Isaiah 48:3, so the idols' inability to do so reveals their false nature.
What is the significance of the phrase 'do something good or evil' in Isaiah 41:23?
The phrase 'do something good or evil' is a challenge to the idols to demonstrate their power by performing any kind of action, whether beneficial or harmful, as a sign of their supposed divinity, but as seen in Psalm 115:3-8, they are unable to do so.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of Isaiah 41?
Isaiah 41:23 is part of a larger passage that emphasizes the uniqueness and power of the one true God, as seen in Isaiah 41:1-20 and Isaiah 41:25-29, and serves as a warning against idolatry and a call to trust in the Lord.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I have been tempted to trust in idols or false sources of comfort and security, and how can I turn to the one true God instead?
- How does the challenge to the idols in Isaiah 41:23 encourage me to evaluate my own priorities and values, and to seek a deeper relationship with God?
- In what ways can I apply the principle of Isaiah 41:23 to my own life, by seeking to know and trust in the God who is all-powerful and all-knowing?
- What are some ways that God has demonstrated His power and love in my life, and how can I share these experiences with others to encourage them to trust in Him?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 41:23
Show the things that are to come hereafter,.... From henceforward to the consummation of all things: so the Targum, "show what shall come to the end;'' or at the end, the end of all things; or show
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 41:23
That we may know that ye are gods; that we may have, if not a certain proof, yet at least a probable argument, of your deity. It may be objected that the devil hath foretold future events by idols; but it may be answered, that such predictions were but rare, and oftentimes were false, and confuted by the event; and generally were dark and doubtful, as hath been noted; and when they were verified by the event, that was only done by Divine permission and revelation, for the trial or punishment of wicked men, of which we have an instance, , and therefore doth no more prove them to be gods than the predictions made known by God unto the prophets proved them to be gods. Do good, or do evil; protect and bless your worshippers whom I intend to destroy, and destroy my people whom I intend to save, and then you have some colour to assert your deity. But, alas! you can neither do good nor evil. That we may be dismayed, and behold it together; that I and my people may be astonished, and confounded, and forced to acknowledge your godhead.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 41:23
Isaiah 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.Ver. 23. Show the things that are to come.] This first argument is much insisted on. God alone can properly predict; and Testimonium divinitatis est veritas divinationis. Cato Major was wont to say, that he wondered how one diviner could look upon another and not laugh, as knowing themselves to be no better than deceivers of the people. Yea, do good or evil.] Good to your friends, evil to your foes. This is the second argument, and it is unanswerable. If it be objected, that this the devil can do, and hath done, the answer is; (1.) that idols can do neither good nor evil, (2.) no, nor yet devils; but the good they do their clients is a mere magic, and the evil they do to any is by divine permission. See Cyprian’ s Fourth Treatise, De Vanitate Idolorum. Tertul. Apol., cap. 20.
Vide etiam, Aug. De Civlt. Dei, lib. ii. cap. 22, 25, &c.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 41:23
(23) Do good, or do evil.—The challenge reminds us of Elijah’s on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:27). Can the heathen point to any good or evil fortune which, as having been predicted by this or that deity, might reasonably be thought of as his work? It lies in the nature of the case that every heathen looked to his gods as having sent blessings, or the reverse, but it was only Jehovah who could give the proof supplied by prediction.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 41:23
Verse 23. That we may be dismayed, and behold it together - "Then shall we be struck at once with admiration and terror."] The word ונרא venere is written imperfectly in the Hebrew text; the Masoretes supply ה he at the end; and so it is read in twenty-two MSS. and four editions; that is, ונראה venireh, and we shall see. But the true reading seems to be ונירא venira, and we shall fear, with י yod supplied, from ירא yara.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 41:23
23. do good, or do evil] i.e. “do anything whatever, good or bad” (Jeremiah 10:5; Zephaniah 1:12), give any sign of vitality or intelligence. that we may be dismayed] Rather: that we may stare (in astonishment). (The same word in Isaiah 41:10.)
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 41:23
That we may know that ye are gods - The prediction of future events is the highest evidence of omniscience, and of course of divinity.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 41:23
22, 23. Let them… show us what shall happen — The main challenge is, as to the power of idols to foretell events.
