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.’
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.
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
For ahow should My name be profaned?
And bI will not give My glory to another.
