Isaiah:48:1-11




sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the spring of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel,––not in truth, nor in righteousness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:2 @ For of the holy city they call themselves, and upon the God of Israel they stay themselves,––The Lord of hosts is his name.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:3 @ The former things have I declared from the beginning; and out of my mouth went they forth, and I announced them: suddenly did I accomplish them, and they came to pass;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, that like an iron sinew is thy neck, and thy brow of copper;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:5 @ And I declared it to thee from the beginning; before yet it came to pass did I let thee hear it: lest thou should say, My idol hath done these things, and my graven image, and my molten image, have ordained them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:6 @ Thou hast heard it; see it all now; and you––will you not declare it? I caused thee to hear new things, from this time, even hidden things which thou hadst not known.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:7 @ Now are they created, and not from the beginning; and before the day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:8 @ But neither hadst thou heard it; nor didst thou know; nor had in ancient times thy ear been opened; for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and a transgressor wast thou called from thy birth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:9 @ For the sake of my name will I defer my anger, and because of my praise will I restrain it toward thee, so that I may not cut thee off.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined thee, though not into silver: I have approved thee in the crucible of affliction.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:48:11 @ For my own sake will I do it: for how would be dishonored? and my glory will I not give unto another.
