Isaiah 48:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ They are created now, and not in days past; nor before this day hast thou heard them lest thou should say, Behold, I knew them.

⁸ Certainly thou hast never heard this; certainly thou hast never known this; certainly thine ear was never before opened: for I knew that being unfaithful thou would disobey; therefore, I called thee a rebel from the womb.

⁹ ¶ For my name’s sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will wait patiently for thee that I not cut thee off.
