Isaiah 48:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ I informed you long ago;
    before they came about I proclaimed them to you
    so you wouldn’t say, “My idol did them;
    my wood statue and metal god commanded them.”
⁶ You’ve heard and seen all this—
    won’t you admit it?
From now on I’ll tell you new things,
    guarded secrets that you don’t know.
⁷ They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you hadn’t heard of them,
    so you won’t say, “I already knew them.”
