Isaiah 41:28 Context
26Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and before time, 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. 27The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them, and I will giue to Ierusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 28For I behelde, and there was no man, euen amongst them, and there was no counseller, that when I asked of them, could answere a word. 29Behold, they are all vanitie, their works are nothing: their moulten images are winde and confusion.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 41:28
41:28 For - I looked to see if I could find any man that could foretel future events. No man - Not any, of the idols; for the word man is sometimes used by the Hebrews of brute creatures, and even of lifeless things. No counsellor - Though these idols were often consulted, yet none of them were able to give any solid and certain advice concerning future things.
