Isaiah 48:4-6
Good News Translation
4 I knew that you would prove to be stubborn,
as rigid as iron and unyielding as bronze.
5 And so I predicted your future long ago,
announcing events before they took place,
to keep you from claiming
that your idols and images made them happen.
6 “All I foretold has now taken place;
you have to admit my predictions were right.
Now I will tell you of new things to come,
events that I did not reveal before.
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.
