Isaiah 48:2-4

Modern English Version

² for they call themselves after the holy city,
    and lean on the God of Israel;
    the Lord of Hosts is His name:
³ I have declared the former things from the beginning;
    and they went forth from My mouth, and I announced them.
    Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
⁴ Because I knew that you are obstinate,
    and your neck is an iron sinew,
    and your brow bronze;
