Isaiah 48:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord warns his people
48 Listen to this, family of Jacob. You are called ‘Israel’, and you are Judah's descendants.[a] You use the name of the Lord when you make promises. You pray to Israel's God. But you do not do those things honestly and fairly. 2 Your people are proud to say that they live in the holy city. They trust in Israel's God, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
3 The Lord says to his people,
‘I already spoke about things that would happen at a future time.
A long time ago I told you what would happen.
Then I suddenly did my work,
and I caused those things to happen!
