They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did them, band they came to pass.
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did them, band they came to pass.
5 Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’

And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
See all this.
And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.

And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
8 Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called aa transgressor from the womb.
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.

And were called aa transgressor from the womb.

And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
