Isaiah 48:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 “I declared the former things from of old,[a]
and they went out from my mouth.
And I announced[b] them suddenly;
I acted,[c] and they came to pass,
4 because I know[d] that you are obstinate,
and your neck an iron sinew,
and your forehead bronze.
5 And I declared them to you from of old;
I announced[e] them to you before they came to pass
so that you would not say, ‘My idol did them,
and my image and my cast image commanded them.’

New International Version
Isaiah 48:3-5
New International Version
3 I foretold the former things(A) long ago,
my mouth announced(B) them and I made them known;
then suddenly(C) I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew how stubborn(D) you were;
your neck muscles(E) were iron,
your forehead(F) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(G) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(H)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
