Isaiah 48:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
48 1 The hypocrisy of the Jews is reproved. 12 The Lord alone will be worshipped. 20 Of their deliverance out of Babylon.
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are [a]called by the name of Israel, and are come out of [b]the waters of Judah: which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth nor in righteousness.
2 For they are called of the holy city, and stay themselves [c]upon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hosts.
3 I have declared the former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I showed [d]them: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that [e]thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
5 Therefore I have declared it to thee of old: before it came to pass, I showed [f]it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my carved image, and my molten image hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, and will not ye [g]declare it? I have showed thee new things, even now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.
