וְאֵ֙רֶא֙ וְאֵ֣ין אִ֔ישׁ וּמֵאֵ֖לֶּה וְאֵ֣ין יוֹעֵ֑ץ וְאֶשְׁאָלֵ֖ם וְיָשִׁ֥יבוּ דָבָֽר׃

And I look, but there is no man; Even among them, but there is no counsellor, That, when I ask of them, can give an answer.

And I look and there is no man [lit. and I will see, in the future tense.] I always look at the prophets of Baal, and there is no man who tells of a future event.
