Isaiah 48:5

I declared them to you from of old , before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say , My idol did them, my carved image and my metal image commanded them.

Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.`

I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
