Isaiah 48:4

← Isaiah 48:3	Isaiah 48:4 (KJV)	Isaiah 48:5 →
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.	Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;	I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I shewed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
