Isaiah 48:4

1
Hear ye this,
O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the
L
ORD
, and make mention of the God of Israel,
but
not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The
L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name.
3
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did
them
suddenly, and they came to pass.
Because I knew that thou
art
obstinate, and thy neck
is
an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5
I have even from the beginning declared
it
to thee; before it came to pass I shewed
it
thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare
it
? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time
that
thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9
For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11
For mine own sake,
even
for mine own sake, will I do
it:
for how should
my name
be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I
am
he; I
am
the first, I also
am
the last.
13
Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens:
when
I call unto them, they stand up together.
14
All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these
things
? The
L
ORD
hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm
shall be on
the Chaldeans.
15
I,
even
I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there
am
I: and now the Lord
G
OD
, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17
Thus saith the
L
ORD
, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I
am
the
L
ORD
thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way
that
thou shouldest go.
18
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19
Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20
Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it
even
to the end of the earth; say ye, The
L
ORD
hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21
And they thirsted not
when
he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22
There is
no peace, saith the
L
ORD
, unto the wicked.
