Isaiah 48:1-8

1HearH8085 ye this, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, who are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478, and are comeH3318 forthH3318 out of the watersH4325 of JudahH3063; who swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of Jehovah, and makeH8085 mention of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, but not in truthH571, nor in righteousnessH6666

2(for they callH7121 themselves of the holyH6944 cityH5892, and stay themselves upon the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034):

3I have declaredH5046 the formerH7223 thingsH7223 from of old; yea, they wentH3318 forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310, and I showed them: suddenlyH6597 I did them, and they cameH935 to pass.

4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neckH6203 is an ironH1270 sinewH1517, and thy brow brass;

5therefore I have declaredH5046 it to thee from of old; before it cameH935 to pass I showed it thee; lestH6435 thou shouldest sayH559, Mine idolH6459 hath done them, and my graven imageH6459, and my molten imageH6459, hath commandedH6680 them.

6Thou hast heardH8085 it; beholdH2372 all this; and ye, will ye not declareH5046 it? I have showed thee newH2319 things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not knownH3045.

7They are createdH1254 nowH6258, and not from of old; and before this dayH3117 thou heardest them not; lestH6435 thou shouldest sayH559, Behold, I knewH3045 them.

8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine earH241 was not openedH6605: for I knewH3045 that thou didst dealH898 very treacherouslyH898, and wast calledH7121 a transgressor from the wombH990.
