Context of Isaiah 48:6

4I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze. 5I announced them to you beforehand; before they happened, I predicted them for you, so you could never say, ‘My image did these things, my idol, my cast image, decreed them.’ You have heard; now look at all the evidence! Will you not admit that what I say is true? From this point on I am announcing to you new events that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about. 7Now they come into being, not in the past; before today you did not hear about them, so you could not say, ‘Yes, I know about them.’ 8You did not hear, you do not know, you were not told beforehand. For I know that you are very deceitful; you were labeled a rebel from birth.
