Isaiah 48:3-6

3 “The former things ^eI declared of old;
they went out from my mouth, and I announced them;
then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
4 Because I know that ^fyou are obstinate,
and your neck is an iron sinew
and your forehead brass,
5 ^gI declared them to you from of old,
before they came to pass I announced them to you,
lest you should say, ^h‘My idol did them,
my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’
6 “You have heard; now see all this;
and will you not declare it?
From this time forth ⁱI announce to you new things,
hidden things that you have not known.

John 18:20
