Isaiah 41:24

Ye are of nothing; you lately were nothing, without any being at all, and now you have nothing at all of divinity or virtue in you. Your work; either,

1. Passively, your workmanship, all the cost and art which is laid out upon you. Or,

2. Actively, all that you can do. Your operations are like your beings; there is no reality in your beings, nor efficacy in your actions. He that chooseth you; he that chooseth you for his gods, is most abominable for his folly as well as his wickedness.
