So I told you about these things a long time ago.
    Before they happened, I told you about them.
Then you could not say, “My idol did them.
Yes, my wooden image and my idol made of metal
    decided that these things would happen.”
You heard what I said would happen,
    and now you have seen it happen.
    Agree that what I say is true!
Now I will tell you about new things that will happen.
    They are secret things that you do not yet know about.
They are not things that started long ago.
    I am causing them to happen now.
You did not hear about them before today.
    So you cannot say, “Yes, I already knew about them.”

    Will you not admit them?

“From now on I will tell you of new things,(C)
    of hidden things unknown to you.
They are created(D) now, and not long ago;(E)
    you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
    ‘Yes, I knew(F) of them.’
