Isa 48:1

Isa 48:3I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, and they came to pass.

Isa 48:4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,

Isa 48:6

Isa 48:6Thou heardest, see all this; -- and ye, will not ye declare it? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:

Isa 48:7

Isa 48:7they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

Isa 48:8

Isa 48:8Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Isa 48:9

Isa 48:9For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.

Isa 48:10

Isa 48:10Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Isa 48:11

Isa 48:11For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Isa 48:15

Isa 48:15I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous.

Isa 48:17Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee for thy profit, who leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest go.

Isa 48:18

Isa 48:18Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then would thy peace have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;

Isa 48:19

Isa 48:19and thy seed would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: their name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

Isa 48:20

Isa 48:20Go ye forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing; declare, cause this to be heard, utter it to the end of the earth; say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
