Isaiah 48:5 BBE

³  I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.

⁴  Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;

⁵  For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

⁶  All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

⁷  They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
