Isaiah 48:3-6

³For a long time now, I''ve let you in on the way I work: I told you what I was going to do beforehand, then I did it and it was done, and that''s that.a

⁴I know you''re a bunch of hardheads, obstinate and flint-faced,b

⁵So I got a running start and began telling you what was going on before it even happened. That is why you can''t say, "My god-idol did this.''"My favorite god-carving commanded this.''

⁶You have all this evidence confirmed by your own eyes and ears. Shouldn''t you be talking about it? And that was just the beginning. I have a lot more to tell you, things you never knew existed.
