Isaiah 48:3-8

Thomson(i) 3 when they proceeded from my mouth and were published, I did them speedily and they came to pass. 4 I know that thou art of an untractable temper, that thy neck is a sinew of iron and thy brow, brass; 5 therefore I told thee beforehand what would come upon thee; I published them that thou mightest not say, "The idols have done this to me, " nor say, "The graven or molten images have ordered it for me, " 6 you have heard all these things, and did not yourselves know them. But now I have made thee hear new things, which shall hereafter come to pass. Yet hast thou not said, 7 "Things done now and not formerly!" Yes, never in former days didst thou hear these things. Thou shouldst not say, "Indeed I know them." 8 Thou didst neither know nor didst thou believe, nor did I from the beginning open thine ear: for I knew that, being in rebellion, thou wilt continue to rebel and wilt still be called a transgressor from the womb.
