וְתֹהוּ for וַתְּהִי.
Strong's Number H8414 matches the Hebrew תֹּהוּ (tôû),
which occurs 20 times in 19 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
He found him in a desolate land,
in a barren, howling wilderness;
he surrounded him, cared for him,
and protected him as the pupil of his eye.
“Don’t turn away to follow worthless[fn] things that can’t profit or rescue you; they are worthless.
He deprives the world’s leaders of reason,
and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
those who, with their speech,
accuse a person of wrongdoing,
who set a trap for the one mediating at the city gate
and without cause deprive the righteous of justice.
All the nations are as nothing before him;
they are considered by him
as empty nothingness.
“Look, all of them are a delusion;[fn]
their works are nonexistent;
their images are wind and emptiness.
All who make idols are nothing,
and what they treasure benefits no one.
Their witnesses do not see or know anything,
so they will be put to shame.
For this is what the LORD says —
the Creator of the heavens,
the God who formed the earth and made it,
the one who established it
(he did not create it to be a wasteland,
but formed it to be inhabited) —
he says, “I am the LORD,
and there is no other.
“I have not spoken in secret,
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek me in a wasteland.
I am the LORD, who speaks righteously,
who declares what is right.
But I myself said: I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and futility;
yet my vindication is with the LORD,
and my reward is with my God.
No one makes claims justly;
no one pleads honestly.
They trust in empty and worthless words;
they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity.
