Isa 48:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : God knows that his people have always been rebellious and unfaithful. Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not... for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb . From the very beginning, Israel struggled with sin and idolatry (Deuteronomy 9:7,24; 31:16,27,29 ). God still warned and helped them, even though he knew they would often turn away. This shows God’s patience and mercy toward his people, even when they do not deserve it.

‏ Isaiah 48:8

v. 8: God knows that his people have always been rebellious and unfaithful. Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not... for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb . From the very beginning, Israel struggled with sin and idolatry (Deuteronomy 9:7,24; 31:16,27,29 ^a). God still warned and helped them, even though he knew they would often turn away. This shows God’s patience and mercy toward his people, even when they do not deserve it.
