Isaiah 48:4-7 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze. ⁵ And I declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I revealed it to you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them. ⁶ You heard; see it all; and will you not declare? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them. ⁷ They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
