Isaiah 48:1-7 ▼

1 Heare yee this, O house of Iaakob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of the waters of Iudah: which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousnesse.

2 For they are called of the holy citie, & staie themselues vpon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.

3 I haue declared ye former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, & I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.

4 Because I knewe, that thou art obstinate, & thy necke is an yron sinew, & thy brow brasse,

5 Therefore I haue declared it to thee of old: before it came to passe, I shewed it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my carued image, and my molten image hath commanded them.

6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, & wil not yee declare it? I haue shewed thee newe things, euen now, & hid things, which thou knewest not.

7 They are created now, and not of olde, and euen before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Beholde, I knewe them.
