·These things are happening [L They are created] now, not long ago;
    you have not heard about them before today.
So you cannot say, ‘[L Look; or Yes; T Behold] We already knew about that.’

    Even long ago ·you did not listen [L your ear has not been opened].

But for my ·own [L name’s] sake I will ·be patient [L hold back my anger].
    ·People will praise me because [L For the sake of my praise] I did not become angry
    and ·destroy you [cut you off].
