Isaiah 48:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.

⁴ For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.

⁵ I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.
