Isaiah 48:3-8

3I 1declared the former things long ago, And they went out of My mouth, and I proclaimed them. 2Suddenly I acted, and they 3came to pass.4Because I know that you are 45obstinate, And your 6neck is an iron tendon And your 7forehead bronze,5Therefore I declared them to you long ago, Before 8they took place I proclaimed them to you, So that you would not say, ‘My 9idol has done them, And my carved image and my cast metal image have commanded them.’6You have heard; look at all this. And you, will you not declare it? I proclaim to you 10new things from this time, Hidden things which you have not known.7They are created now and not long ago; And before today you have not heard them, So that you will not say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’8You have not 11heard, you have not known. Even from long ago your ear has not been open, Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously; And you have been called a 1213rebel from 14birth.
