Isaiah 48:4-6
Amplified Bible
4
“Because I know that you are obstinate,
And your neck is an iron tendon
And your brow is bronze [both unyielding],
5
I have declared them to you long ago;
Before they came to pass I announced them to you,
So that you could not say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my cast image have commanded them.’
6
“You have heard [these things foretold]; look at all this [that has been fulfilled].
And you, will you not declare it?
I proclaim to you [specific] new things from this time,
Even [a]hidden things which you have not known.

Isaiah 48:4-6
New International Version
4 For I knew how stubborn(A) you were;
your neck muscles(B) were iron,
your forehead(C) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(D) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(E)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(F)
of hidden things unknown to you.
