Isaiah 48:3-5

CLV(i) 3 The first things hitherto I foretold, and from My mouth they fared forth. Then I am announcing them. Suddenly I do them. And they shall come to pass." 4 From what I know, you are obstinate, and a sinew of iron is your scruff. And your forehead is copper." 5 Yet I was telling it to you hitherto; ere it is coming, I announced it to you, lest you should say, `My grief fetish did them. And my carving and my molten image instructs them.'"
