48:3 “I announced events beforehand, 1
I issued the decrees and made the predictions; 2
suddenly I acted and they came to pass.
48:4 I did this 3 because I know how stubborn you are.
Your neck muscles are like iron
and your forehead like bronze. 4
48:5 I announced them to you beforehand;
before they happened, I predicted them for you,
so you could never say,
‘My image did these things,
my idol, my cast image, decreed them.’
48:6 You have heard; now look at all the evidence! 5
Will you not admit that what I say is true? 6
From this point on I am announcing to you new events
that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about. 7
