Isaiah 48:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Today I am doing something new,
something you cannot say
    you have heard before.
⁸ You have never been willing
    to listen to what I say;
from the moment of your birth,
    I knew you would rebel.

⁹ I, the Lord, am true to myself;
I will be praised for not punishing
    and destroying you.
