Isaiah 48:3-8

LEB(i) 3 "I declared the former things from of old,* and they went out from my mouth. And I announced* them suddenly; I acted,* and they came to pass, 4 because I know* 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* 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* new things to you from this time and hidden things that* you have not known. 7 Now they are created, and not from of old,* and before today, and you have not heard them so that you could not say, "Look! I knew them." 8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known, nor from of old* has your ear been opened. For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously, and you are called a rebel from the womb.
