Isaiah 48:6-8

New International Reader's Version

“From now on I will tell you about new things that will happen.
    I have not made them known to you before.
⁷ These things are taking place right now.
    They did not happen long ago.
    You have not heard of them before today.
So you can’t say,
    ‘Oh, yes. I already knew about them.’
⁸ You have not heard or understood what I said.
    Your ears have been plugged up for a long time.
I knew very well that you would turn against me.
    From the day you were born, you have refused to obey me.
