Isaiah 48:1-10

48Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and who came forth from the loins of Judah; who swear by the name of the Lord, and invoke the God of Israel, but not in truth or right. 2For they call themselves after the holy city, and lean on the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is his name. 3The former things I declared long ago, they went out from my mouth and I made them known; then suddenly I did them and they came to pass. 4Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass, 5I declared them to you from long ago, before they came to pass I announced them to you, so that you would not say, “My idol did them, my carved image and my cast image commanded them.” 6You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known. 7They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, so that you could not say, “I already knew them.” 8You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and that from birth you were called a rebel.

9For my name’s sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, so that I may not cut you off. 10See, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.
