“They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!”
Isaiah 48:7 (BSB)
Context Reading
5Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this; my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’ 6You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you. 7They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’ 8You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth. 9For the sake of My name I will delay My wrath; for the sake of My praise I will restrain it, so that you will not be cut off.
