Isaiah 48:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 I know that you are stubborn.
Like iron, you are hardheaded.
Like bronze, nothing gets through your thick skull.
5 That is why I revealed to you what would happen long ago.
I told you about them before they happened.
⌞I did this⌟ so you couldn’t say,
“My gods have done these things.
My carved idols and my metal idols
have commanded them to happen.”
6 You’ve heard these words.
Now look at all this.
Won’t you admit it?
From now on I will reveal to you new things,
hidden things that you do not know.
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.
