Isaiah 48:3-8
New International Version
3 I foretold the former things(A) long ago,
my mouth announced(B) them and I made them known;
then suddenly(C) I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew how stubborn(D) you were;
your neck muscles(E) were iron,
your forehead(F) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(G) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(H)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(I)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(J) now, and not long ago;(K)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(L) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(M)
from of old your ears(N) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(O) you are;
you were called a rebel(P) from birth.
