Isaiah 48:1-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

48 ¶ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who call yourselves by the name of Israel, those that are come forth out of the waters of Judah, those who 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 call themselves of the holy city and stay themselves upon the God of Israel. The LORD of the hosts is his name.

³ That which happened, I have already declared many days ago; and it went forth out of my mouth, and I published it; I did it suddenly, and it came to pass.

⁴ Because I know that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow bronze;

⁵ I have already declared it many days ago; before it came to pass I showed it to thee: lest thou should say, My idol has done it, my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded these things.

⁶ Thou hast heard it, thou hast seen it all; and will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
