That is why I revealed to you what would happen long ago.
    I told you about them before they happened.
    I did this so you couldn’t say,
    “My gods have done these things.
    My carved idols and my metal idols
        have commanded them to happen.”
You’ve heard these words.
    Now look at all this.
        Won’t you admit it?

From now on I will reveal to you new things,
    hidden things that you do not know.
They are created now, not in the past.
    You haven’t heard about them before today,
        so you can’t say that you already knew about them.

    my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
You have heard these things; look at them all.
    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.’
