You have heard; now look at all the evidence![a]
Will you not admit that what I say is true?[b]
From this point on I am announcing to you new events
that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about.[c]

before today you did not hear about them,
so you could not say,
‘Yes,[e] I know about them.’

you do not know,
you were not told beforehand.[f]
For I know that you are very deceitful;[g]
you were labeled[h] a rebel from birth.
