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.
