Isaiah 48:5
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.
KJV
Prædixi tibi ex tunc ; antequam venirent, indicavi tibi, ne forte diceres : Idola mea fecerunt hæc, et sculptilia mea et conflatilia mandaverunt ista.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀνήγγειλά σοι παλαιὰ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σέ· ἀκουστόν σοι ἐποίησα, μή ποτε εἴπῃς ὅτι Τὰ εἴδωλά μοι ἐποίησεν, καὶ εἴπῃς ὅτι Τὰ γλυπτὰ καὶ τὰ χωνευτὰ ἐνετείλατό μοι.
LXX
therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
