The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 48:3-5

  1. 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.

  2. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

  3. 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.
