Isaiah 48:1-8

1HearH8085 ye this, 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 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, not in truthH571, nor in righteousnessH6666.

2For they are namedH8034 after the holyH6944 cityH5892, and stay themselves upon the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.

3I have declaredH5046 the formerH7223 thingsH7223 long ago; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310, and I caused them to be heardH8085: I wrought suddenlyH6597, and they cameH935 to pass.

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

5so I have long ago declaredH5046 [them] to thee; before they cameH935 to pass I caused thee to hearH8085 [them]; lestH6435 thou shouldest sayH559, Mine idolH6459 hath done them, and my graven imageH6459, or my molten imageH6459 hath commandedH6680 them.

6Thou heardest, seeH2372 all this; — and ye, will not ye declareH5046 [it]? I have caused thee to hearH8085 newH2319 things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:

7they are createdH1254 nowH6258, and not long ago; and before this dayH3117 thou hast not heardH8085 them, 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 wouldest ever dealH898 treacherouslyH898, and thou wast calledH7121 a transgressor from the wombH990.
