And blean on the God of Israel;
The Lord of hosts is His name:
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did them, band they came to pass.
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’
See all this.
And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called aa transgressor from the womb.
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
| << Isaiah 48:3 | Isaiah 48:5 >> |
