Isaiah 48:3-5

New Living Translation

³ Long ago I told you what was going to happen.
    Then suddenly I took action,
    and all my predictions came true.
⁴ For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are.
    Your necks are as unbending as iron.
    Your heads are as hard as bronze.
⁵ That is why I told you what would happen;
    I told you beforehand what I was going to do.
Then you could never say, ‘My idols did it.
    My wooden image and metal god commanded it to happen!’
