Isaiah 48:6-8
International Standard Version
6 “You have heard—now look at them all!
How[a] can you not admit them?
From now on, I’ll make you hear new things,
hidden things that you have not known.
7 They are created now, and not long ago;
you didn’t hear them before today,
so you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew them.’
8 And[b] neither had you heard, nor did you understand,
nor did you open[c] your ear long ago.[d]
Indeed, I knew that[e] you would act very deceitfully,
and they would call[f] you a rebel from birth.

New International Version
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(A)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(B) now, and not long ago;(C)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(D) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(E)
from of old your ears(F) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(G) you are;
you were called a rebel(H) from birth.
