Isaiah 48:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ From the beginning I revealed to you what would happen.
These words came out of my mouth,
and I made them known.
Suddenly, I acted, and they happened.
⁴ I know that you are stubborn.
Like iron, you are hardheaded.
Like bronze, nothing gets through your thick skull.
⁵ That is why I revealed to you what would happen long ago.
I told you about them before they happened.
⌞I did this⌟ so you couldn’t say,
“My gods have done these things.
My carved idols and my metal idols
have commanded them to happen.”
