Isaiah 48:3-5

3The Lord says to his people, ‘I already spoke about things that would happen at a future time. A long time ago I told you what would happen. Then I suddenly did my work, and I caused those things to happen!

4I did it because I know what you are like. You refuse to obey me. You do not want to change the way that you live. Your neck is like iron and it will not bend! Your head is as hard as bronze!

5So I told you about these things a long time ago. Before they happened, I told you about them. Then you could not say, “My idol did them. Yes, my wooden image and my idol made of metal decided that these things would happen.”
