Isaiah 48:2-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² For they are named after the Holy City,
and lean on the God of Israel;^(A)
His name is Yahweh of Hosts.
³ I declared the past events long ago;
they came out of My mouth; I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they occurred.
⁴ Because I know that you are stubborn,
and your neck is iron^[a]
and your forehead bronze,^(B)
5 therefore I declared to you long ago.
I announced it to you before it occurred,
so you could not claim, ‘My idol caused them;
my carved image and cast idol control them.’^(C)
6 You have heard it. Observe it all.
Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.^(D)
