Isaiah 48:5 DBY

³  I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, and they came to pass.

⁴  Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,

⁵  so I have long ago declared [them] to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear [them]; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them.

⁶  Thou heardest, see all this; -- and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:

⁷  they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
