The Lord Appeals to the Exiles Listen to this, O family of Jacob, you who are called by the name‘Israel,’ and are descended from Judah, who take oaths in the name of the LORD, and invoke the God of Israel– but not in an honest and just manner.
Indeed, they live in the holy city; they trust in the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
“I announced events beforehand, I issued the decrees and made the predictions; suddenly I acted and they came to pass.
I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.
I announced them to you beforehand; before they happened, I predicted them for you, so you could never say,‘My image did these things, my idol, my cast image, decreed them.’
You have heard; now look at all the evidence! Will you not admit that what I say is true? From this point on I am announcing to you new events that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about.
