Isaiah 48:3-8 - Heartlight

³I foretold the former things long ago;

they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them.

Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

⁴For I knew that you are stubborn;

your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.

⁵Therefore I declared it to you long ago;

I announced it before it came to pass,

so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this;

my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’

⁶You have heard these things; look at them all.

Will you not acknowledge them?

From now on I will tell you of new things,

hidden things unknown to you.

⁷They are created now, and not long ago;

you have not heard of them before today.

So you cannot claim,

‘I already knew them!’

⁸You have never heard; you have never understood;

for a long time your ears have not been open.

For I knew how deceitful you are;

you have been called a rebel from birth.

— Isaiah 48:3-8
