Isaiah 48:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵I declared them to you from long ago,
before they came to pass I announced them to you,
so that you would not say, ‘My idol did them,
my carved image and my cast image commanded them.’

⁶You have heard; now see all this;
    and will you not declare it?
From this time forward I make you hear new things,
    hidden things that you have not known.
⁷They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you have never heard of them,
    so that you could not say, ‘I already knew them.’
