mkjv - Isaiah:48:1-11

mkjv@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD and make mention of the God of Israel ( but] not in truth nor in righteousness).

mkjv@Isaiah:48:2 @ For they call themselves of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts [is] His name.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:3 @ I have foretold the former things from the beginning; and they went out of My mouth; and I made them hear; I acted suddenly; and they came about.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that you [are] obstinate, and your neck [is] an iron sinew and your brow bronze.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:5 @ And I declared [it] to you from the beginning. Before it happened I revealed it to you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:6 @ You heard; see it all; and will you not declare? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:7 @ They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:8 @ Yea, you did not hear; yea, you did not know; yea, from the time that your ear was not opened; for I surely know that you will betray and trespass; from the womb it was called to you.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:9 @ For My name's sake I will put off My anger, and for My praise I will hold back for you, that I do not cut you off.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

mkjv@Isaiah:48:11 @ For my sake, for My sake I will do it; for why should [My name] be defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.
