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.
For ahow should My name be profaned?
And bI will not give My glory to another.
God’s Ancient Plan to Redeem Israel
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When bI call to them,
They stand up together.
| << Isaiah 48:8 | Isaiah 48:10 >> |
