Isaiah 48 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Israel's Obstinacy

Isa 48:1“Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are named Israel
And who came forth from the [fn]loins of Judah,
Who swear by the name of the LORD
And invoke the God of Israel,
But not in truth nor in righteousness.

Isa 48:2

Isa 48:2“For they call themselves after the holy city
And lean on the God of Israel;
The LORD of hosts is His name.

Isa 48:3

Isa 48:3“I declared the former things long ago
And they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

Isa 48:4

Isa 48:4“Because I know that you are [fn]obstinate,
And your neck is an iron sinew
And your forehead bronze,

Isa 48:5

Isa 48:5Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before [fn]they took place I proclaimed them to you,
So that you would not say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my graven image and my molten image have commanded them.’

Isa 48:6

Isa 48:6“You have heard; look at all this.
And you, will you not declare it?
I proclaim to you new things from this time,
Even hidden things which you have not known.

Isa 48:7

Isa 48:7“They are created now and not long ago;
And before today you have not heard them,
So that you will not say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’

Isa 48:8

Isa 48:8“You have not heard, you have not known.
Even from long ago your ear has not been open,
Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;
And you have been called a [fn]rebel from [fn]birth.

Isa 48:9

Isa 48:9“For the sake of My name I delay My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain it for you,
In order not to cut you off.

Isa 48:10

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

Isa 48:11

Isa 48:11“For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And My glory I will not give to another.

Deliverance Promised

Isa 48:12

Isa 48:12“Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel [fn]whom I called;
I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.

Isa 48:13

Isa 48:13“Surely My hand founded the earth,
And My right hand spread out the heavens;
When I call to them, they stand together.

Isa 48:14

Isa 48:14“Assemble, all of you, and listen!
Who among them has declared these things?
The LORD loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

Isa 48:15

Isa 48:15“I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have called him,
I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful.

Isa 48:16

Isa 48:16“Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the first I have not spoken in secret,
From the time it took place, I was there.
And now the Lord [fn]GOD has sent Me, and His Spirit.”

Isa 48:17

Isa 48:17Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who leads you in the way you should go.

Isa 48:18

Isa 48:18“If only you had paid attention to My commandments!
Then your [fn]well-being would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Isa 48:19

Isa 48:19“Your [fn]descendants would have been like the sand,
And [fn]your offspring like its grains;
Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”

Isa 48:20

Isa 48:20Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans!
Declare with the sound of joyful shouting, proclaim this,
Send it out to the end of the earth;
Say, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob.”

Isa 48:21

Isa 48:21They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts.
He made the water flow out of the rock for them;
He split the rock and the water gushed forth.

Isa 48:22

Isa 48:22“There is no peace for the wicked,” says the LORD.
