Isaiah 48:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Listen to this, house of Jacob, who are known by the name of Israel, descendants of Judah, who swear by the LORD's name and invoke Israel's God dishonestly and unrighteously.

2 They are known as residents of the holy city, those who depend upon the God of Israel— the LORD of heavenly forces is his name.

3 Past things I announced long ago; from my mouth I proclaimed them. I acted suddenly, and they came about.

4 Because I know that you are stubborn, your neck is made of iron, and your forehead is bronze.

5 I informed you long ago; before they came about I proclaimed them to you so you wouldn't say, "My idol did them; my wood statue and metal god commanded them."

6 You've heard and seen all this— won't you admit it? From now on I'll tell you new things, guarded secrets that you don't know.

New International Version NIV

1 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel and come from the line of Judah, you who take oaths in the name of the LORDand invoke the God of Israel— but not in truth or righteousness—

2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and claim to rely on the God of Israel— the LORD Almighty is his name:

3 I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

4 For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze.

5 Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; 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, of hidden things unknown to you.
