nkjv Isaiah:48:1-11
nkjv@Isaiah:48:1 @ "Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah; Who swear by the name of the LORD, And make mention of the God of Israel, But not in truth or in righteousness;
nkjv@Isaiah:48:2 @ For they call themselves after the holy city, And lean on the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is His name:
nkjv@Isaiah:48:3 @ "I have declared the former things from the beginning; They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
nkjv@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that you were obstinate, And your neck was an iron sinew, And your brow bronze,
nkjv@Isaiah:48:5 @ Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, Lest you should say, "My idol has done them, And my carved image and my molded image Have commanded them.'
nkjv@Isaiah:48:6 @ "You have heard; See all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
nkjv@Isaiah:48:7 @ They are created now and not from the beginning; And before this day you have not heard them, Lest you should say, "Of course I knew them.'
nkjv@Isaiah:48:8 @ Surely you did not hear, Surely you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, And were called a transgressor from the womb.
nkjv@Isaiah:48:9 @ "For My name's sake I will defer My anger, And for My praise I will restrain it from you, So that I do not cut you off.
nkjv@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
nkjv@Isaiah:48:11 @ For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.
