Isaiah 48:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “They are created now, and not from the beginning. And even before this, you did not hear them, lest you should say, ‘See, I knew them.’

⁸ “Yet, you did not hear them or know them, nor was your ear even opened long ago. For I knew that you would grievously transgress. Therefore I have called you a transgressor from the womb.

⁹ “For My Name’s sake, will I defer My wrath. And for My praise, I will restrain it from you, so that I do not cut you off.
