3 The former things I declared long ago;
they went out from my mouth, and I made them known;
then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.(A)
4 Because I know that you are obstinate,
and your neck is an iron sinew
and your forehead brass,(B)
5 I declared them to you from long ago,
before they came to pass I announced them to you,
so that you would not say, “My idol did them;
my carved image and my cast image commanded them.”(C)
6 You have heard; now see all this;
and will you not declare it?
From this time forward I tell you new things,
hidden things that you have not known.(D)

then suddenly(C) I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew how stubborn(D) you were;
your neck muscles(E) were iron,
your forehead(F) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(G) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(H)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
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,(I)
of hidden things unknown to you.
