48 Hear this, house of Jacob,
who are called by the name of Israel
    and came out from the waters of Judah,
who swear by the name of Yahweh,
    and invoke^[a] the God of Israel,
but not in truth
    and not in righteousness.
² For they call themselves after the holy city,^[b]
    and they lean on the God of Israel—
        Yahweh of hosts is his name.
³ “I declared the former things from of old,^[c]
    and they went out from my mouth.
And I announced^[d] them suddenly;
    I acted,^[e] and they came to pass,
⁴ because I know^[f] 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^[g] 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.’
⁶ You have heard; see it all.
    And will you not declare it?
I announce^[h] new things to you from this time
    and hidden things that^[i] you have not known.
