Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 48:3

_ _ former — things which have happened in time past to Israel (Isaiah 42:9; Isaiah 44:7, Isaiah 44:8; Isaiah 45:21; Isaiah 46:10).

_ _ suddenly — They came to pass so unexpectedly that the prophecy could not have resulted from mere human sagacity.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

(d) He shows that they could not accuse him in anything, as he had performed whatever he had promised.
