Isaiah 48:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ They are not things that started long ago.
    I am causing them to happen now.
You did not hear about them before today.
    So you cannot say, “Yes, I already knew about them.”
⁸ You have not heard about them before.
    You know nothing about them.
From long ago you refused to listen to me.
    I know that you are never honest.
Since you first became a nation,
    you have refused to obey me.
⁹ Because of who I am,
    I will keep my anger until later.
I will not destroy you now,
    so that people will praise my name.
