48 “^(A)Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name Israel
And who came forth from the ^[a](B)loins of Judah,
Who ^(C)swear by the name of Yahweh
And bring to remembrance the God of Israel,
But not in truth or in ^(D)righteousness.
² For they call themselves after the ^(E)holy city
And ^(F)are supported by the God of Israel;
Yahweh of hosts is His name.
³ I ^(G)declared the former things long ago,
And they went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to be heard.
^(H)Suddenly I acted, and they ^(I)came to pass.
⁴ Because I know that you are ^[b](J)stiff,
And your ^(K)neck is an iron sinew
And your ^(L)forehead bronze,
⁵ Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before ^[c]they happened I caused them to be heard by you,
Lest you say, ‘My ^(M)idol has done them,
And my graven image and my molten image have commanded them.’
⁶ You have heard; look at all this.
And you, will you not declare it?
I caused you to hear ^(N)new things from this time,
Even hidden things which you have not known.
