Isaiah 48:6-8
International Children’s Bible
6 “You heard and saw all the things that happened.
So you should tell this news to others.
Now I will tell you about new things.
These are hidden things that you don’t know yet.
7 These things are happening now, not long ago.
You have not heard about them before today.
So you cannot say, ‘We already knew about that.’
8 But you have not heard me. You have not understood.
Even long ago you did not listen to me.
I knew you would surely turn against me.
You have fought against me since you were born.
Isaiah 48:6-8
New International Version
Isaiah 48:6-8
New International Version
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(A)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(B) now, and not long ago;(C)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(D) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(E)
from of old your ears(F) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(G) you are;
you were called a rebel(H) from birth.
Isaiah 48:6-8
King James Version
Isaiah 48:6-8
King James Version
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Isaiah 48:6-8
New King James Version
6 “You have heard;
See all this.
And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
7 They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
8 Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called (A)a transgressor from the womb.

English Standard Version
6 “You have heard; now see all this;
and will you not declare it?
From this time forth (A)I announce to you new things,
hidden things that you have not known.
7 They are created now, not long ago;
before today you have never heard of them,
lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 You have never heard, you have never known,
from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously,
and that (B)from before birth you were called a rebel.
