Parallel ISA 48:5

---

BSB 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.’

OEB so I told it you long ago:
⇔ ere it came to pass, I informed you:
 ⇔ in case you should claim that your idol had wrought it,
⇔ your images – molten or graven – appointed it.

WEB therefore I have declared it to you from of old;
⇔ before it came to pass I showed it to you;
⇔ lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them.
⇔ My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’

NET 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.’

LSV And from that time I declare [it] to you,
Before it comes I have caused you to hear,
Lest you say, My idol has done them,
And my carved image,
And my molten image commanded them.

FBV I predicted these things to you long ago, before they happened. I explained them to you so that you couldn't say “My idol did this,” or “My image and my metal god ordered this to happen.”

T4T That is why I told you those things long ago.
 ⇔ Long before they occurred, I announced that they would occur,
⇔ in order that when they happened you could not say
⇔ ‘Our idols did it;
⇔ our statue made of wood and our idol made of metal caused them to happen.’

LEB  • them to you from of old; I[fn] them to you before they came to pass •  so that you would not say, ‘My idol did them, •  and my image and my cast image commanded them.’

BBE For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
