Isaiah 48:3-5

The Voice

³ Eternal One: In times long past, I determined
        and announced the things that would come.
    Then suddenly I acted, and they indeed happened.
⁴     Long ago, I figured that you’d resist
        (after all, you are a hard-headed and stubborn lot).
⁵     Way back then, I told you what would happen so that you wouldn’t claim
        that some other god was responsible—that some figurine you crafted
    From wood and molded metal commanded and accomplished it.
