Isaiah 48:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ They are created now, not in the past.
You haven’t heard about them before today,
so you can’t say that you already knew about them.
⁸ You have never heard about them.
You have never known about them.
Your ears have never been open to hear them before.
I know that you’ve acted very treacherously
and that you have been called a rebel since you were born.
⁹ For my name’s sake I’ll be patient.
For my glory’s sake I’ll hold my anger back from you,
rather than destroy you.
