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.
8 You have never been willingto listen to what I say;from the moment of your birth,I knew you would rebel.
9 I, the Lord, am true to myself;I will be praised for not punishingand destroying you.
