Isaiah 48:3-5

Modern English Version

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;
⁵ I have even from the beginning declared it to you;
    before it came to pass I announced it to you,
lest you should say,
    “My idol has done them,
    and my carved image and my molded image has commanded them.”
