1 People of Israel,you come from Jacob's familyand the tribe of Judah.You claim to worship me,the Lord God of Israel,but you are lying.
2 You call Jerusalem your homeand say you depend on me,the Lord All-Powerful,the God of Israel.
3 Long ago I announcedwhat was going to be,then without warning,I made it happen.
4 I knew you were stubbornand hard-headed.
5 And I told you these things,so that when they happenedyou would not say,“The idols we worship did this.”
6 You heard what I said,and you have seen it happen.Now admit that it's true!I will show you secretsyou have never known.
7 Today I am doing something new,something you cannot sayyou have heard before.
