Isaiah 48:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ “The former things I declared of old,
    they went forth from my mouth and I made them known;
    then suddenly I did them and they came to pass.
⁴ Because I know that you are obstinate,
    and your neck is an iron sinew
    and your forehead brass,
⁵ I declared them to you from of old,
    before they came to pass I announced them to you,
lest you should say, ‘My idol did them,
    my graven image and my molten image commanded them.’
