Isaiah 48:4-6
International Children’s Bible
4 I did that because I knew you were stubborn.
Your neck was like an iron muscle.
It was as if your head were made of bronze.
5 So a long time ago I told you about these things.
I told you about them before they happened.
I did this so you couldn’t say, ‘My idols did this.
My wooden and metal statues made these things happen.’
6 “You heard and saw all the things that happened.
So you should tell this news to others.
Now I will tell you about new things.
These are hidden things that you don’t know yet.

Isaiah 48:4-6
New International Version
4 For I knew how stubborn(A) you were;
your neck muscles(B) were iron,
your forehead(C) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(D) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(E)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(F)
of hidden things unknown to you.
