noyes - Isaiah:48:1-11

noyes@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear this, O house of Jacob! Ye that are called by the name of Israel; Ye that have come forth from the fountain of Judah; Ye that swear by the name of Jehovah, And praise the God of Israel, But not in truth and sincerity!

noyes@Isaiah:48:2 @ For they call themselves of the holy city, And stay themselves on the God of Israel, Whose name is Jehovah of hosts:

noyes@Isaiah:48:3 @ What hath happened I declared to you long ago; From my mouth it proceeded, and I made it known; On a sudden I effected it, and it came to pass.

noyes@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, And that thy neck is a bar of iron, And that thy brow is brass,

noyes@Isaiah:48:5 @ I declared it to thee long ago; Before it came to pass, I made it known to thee; Lest thou shouldst say, My idol effected it, And my graven image, and my molten image ordained it.

noyes@Isaiah:48:6 @ Thou hast heard it; now see it all! And will ye not confess it? From this time I make you hear a new thing, Even a hidden thing, which thou hast not known.

noyes@Isaiah:48:7 @ It is produced now, and not long ago; Before this day thou hast not heard of it, Lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew it.

noyes@Isaiah:48:8 @ Yea, thou heardest it not; yea, thou knewest it not; Yea, it was not disclosed to thee long ago; For I knew that thou wast wholly faithless, And wast called rebellious from thy birth.

noyes@Isaiah:48:9 @ For the sake of my name I will defer my anger, And for the sake of my praise I will restrain it from thee, That I may not utterly cut thee off.

noyes@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have melted thee, and found no silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.

noyes@Isaiah:48:11 @ For mine own sake will I do it; For how would my name be blasphemed? And my glory will I not give to another.
