Isaiah 48:6

Isaiah 48:6

4 Because I knew that you were¹ obstinate,
And ^ayour neck was an iron sinew,
And your brow bronze,

5 Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
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.’

6 “You have heard;
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.

7 They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’

8 Surely you did not hear,
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.

9 “For^a My name’s sake ^bI will defer My anger,
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 48:5

Isaiah 48:7 >>

See - As thou hast heard all these things, from time to time, seriously consider them. Declare - I call you to witness: must you not be forced to acknowledge the truth of what I say? Shewed - And I have now given thee new predictions of secret things, such as 'till this time were wholly unknown to thee, concerning thy deliverance out of Babylon by Cyrus.
