Isaiah 48:1-3

New International Reader's Version

48 People of Jacob, listen to me.
    You are called by the name of Israel.
    You come from the family line of Judah.
You make promises in the name of the Lord.
    You pray to Israel’s God.
But you aren’t honest.
    You don’t mean what you say.
² You call yourselves citizens of the holy city of Jerusalem.
    You say you depend on Israel’s God.
    His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All. He says,
³ “Long ago I told you ahead of time what would happen.
    I announced it and made it known.
Then all of a sudden I acted.
    And those things took place.
