Isaiah 48:1-6
Legacy Standard Bible
My Glory I Will Not Give to Another
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.

Lexham English Bible
Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel
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.
