Isaiah 48:4-8

4For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze.

5Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’

6You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? “From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.

7They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew of them.’

8You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.
