Isaiah 48:3

Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

² For they call themselves of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name. ³ I have foretold the former things from the beginning; and they went out of My mouth; and I made them hear; I acted suddenly; and they came about. ⁴ Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze.
