Bible verse
I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
Isaiah 48:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 48.
1 “Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, who have descended from the line of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, who invoke the God of Israel—but not in truth or righteousness—
2 who indeed call yourselves after the holy city and lean on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is His name.
3 I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew that you are stubborn; your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.
5 Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this; my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
