Isaiah 48:7-9

Darby Translation

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

⁸ Yea, 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.

⁹ For 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.
