Isaiah 48:6

Read in context

Isaiah 48:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 For I knew that you are stubborn; your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.

5 Therefore 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.’

6 You 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.

7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’

8 You 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.
